Faits intéressants

Lance-leaved Coreopsis has bright yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom from late spring through summer. It naturally grows in prairies, dry meadows, roadsides, and open areas. It prefers well-drained soil and is highly adaptable once established. Its long flowering period and relatively compact growth make it one of the easiest native prairie flowers to grow. It is very drought tolerant once established. Let if self-seed to get plants frm year to year. It performs well in poor soils and does not require fertilizer. You can divide established clumps in spring or fall if needed.
