Lanceleaf Coreopsis

Coreopsis lanceolata

Honeybees are attracted to lanceleaf coreopsis for its reliable nectar and pollen rewards, contributing to early summer honey flows in its range. Peak bloom typically spans May through June, providing consistent forage during that period. It self-sows prolifically and can become weedy in disturbed sites, though it is not considered invasive.
