Coreopsis
Coreopsis spp.
In the United States:
Native
· also called lanceleaf tickseed
Honeybees forage on Coreopsis lanceolata for nectar from ray florets and protein-rich pollen from disc florets. Peak blooming spans late spring through summer, supplying consistent resources during early foraging periods. It adapts to dry, sandy soils and may require division every few years to maintain vigor, while self-seeding can lead to natural spread in open areas.
