#Coreopsis in bloom.
Joyful yellows in our gardens. They spark joy 😊

Today I'm cleaning the seeds for Lance-leaved coreopsis / tickseed (Coreopsis lanceolata). This #NativePlant is yellow and drought tolerant.

I've never collected seeds from this particular plant before; instead I bought them.

Now I know that, generally speaking, if seedheads are brown and dried, the seeds can be harvested. You can collect seeds without being a nursery "professional" and they will grow.

My lance-leaved coreopsis has been quite a slow-poke this, but better late than never. This is part of a front yard garden bed that I started last year. Good bye, grass. #NativePlants #Coreopsis #Tickseed

I'll be winter sowing plenty of native perennial seeds, hoping to get more Lance-Leaved Coreopsis/ #Tickseed (Coreopsis lanceolata). Picture from June.

I like #coreopsis because it blooms for a long time, it's drought-tolerant, and its nectar attracts #butterflies and #bees.

The only downfall: it needs a lot of deadheading. It is not low maintenance in that regard.

But it sure is gorgeous, and I need more!
