Lance-Leaf Coreopsis works best in butterfly gardens, children's gardens, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, drought tolerant gardens, pollinator gardens, rock gardens, meadows and even prairies. It is effective in borders and is a good plant for poor, dry soils.

When first planted, Lance-Leaf Coreopsis should be watered weekly for first few months, unless at least an inch of rain has been received in the last week to help it get established. After it becomes established, Lance-Leaf Coreopsis does not typically need watering, as it is drought tolerant.

If desired, Lance-Leaf Coreopsis can be cut back to the ground in late fall or over winter. Division may be needed every 2-3 years to maintain its robustness.
