Lance-Leaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata)

$5.00

Lance-leaf Coreopsis, aka Sand Coreopsis, is a great plant for sunny spots that are dry, sandy or have poor soil. The nectar and pollen of the flowers attract many kinds of native bees, butterflies, skippers, and day-flying moths. It is also the host for 18 different specialist bees (Johnson and Colla, 2023). The Xerces Society considers this early bloomer highly attractive to pollinators (Xerces.org). On top of that, it is the host plant to 6 species of butterflies and moths in our area (nwf.org). What a great plant to have in the landscape.
