Coreopsis Lance-Leaved Dwarf Seeds – 100 mg Compact Yellow Wildflower

Coreopsis lanceolata, commonly called lance-leaved coreopsis, is a cheerful North American wildflower prized for its bright golden-yellow daisy-like blooms. This dwarf selection stays compact and tidy, making it a fine choice for borders, rock gardens, meadow plantings, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. The flowers rise above narrow, lance-shaped green foliage and bring long-lasting color to sunny spots through the summer.

Easy to grow from seed, lance-leaved coreopsis is a dependable perennial wildflower that tolerates heat and dry conditions once established. It attracts bees and butterflies and works well in naturalized areas, cottage gardens, and cut flower plantings.

Planting & Care

Sow coreopsis seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge, then water moderately. Thin or transplant seedlings to the recommended spacing.

Once established, coreopsis lanceolata is low-maintenance and drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Avoid overly rich or poorly drained soils, which can cause floppy growth or root rot.
