The Perennial Flower Beginner Gardeners Can Feel Confident About Growing
By MARCO ROSSI
Starting a garden is hard and often discouraging. If you’re searching for an easy-to-grow plant with attractive blooms to begin your plot, look no further than lanceleaf coreopsis.
This cheerful yellow wildflower is extremely low-maintenance and tolerant of mistakes. Its seeds do not need to be sown, and it thrives under most soil and sunlight conditions.
Lanceleaf coreopsis’ drought-tolerant nature means it can withstand not being watered weekly, while its self-seeding propagation allows it to recur yearly with no added effort.
As a bonus, its bright blooms and sweet nectar also attract pollinators, such as monarch, buckeye, and silvery checkspot butterflies, and it’s resistant to both deer and rabbits.
