Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut plants back after flowering if they become untidy or to promote fresh foliage. Fertilization is rarely necessary in average soils, as overly fertile soil can reduce flowering. Exceptionally hardy and well-suited to Canadian gardens in Zones 3–8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #1f2124;\"\u003eImages Courtesy Of Ball Horticultural Company \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003eof Ball Seed or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ballseed.com\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ewww.ballseed.com\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":47209321431177,"sku":"G15212","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3576\/1033\/files\/G15212Coreopsislanceolata.jpg?v=1783429980"},{"product_id":"coreopsis-lanceolata-1","title":"Dalea purpurea","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"39\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"20\"\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"21\" data-end=\"37\"\u003eDalea purpurea\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"41\" data-end=\"81\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"41\" data-end=\"57\"\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple Prairie Clover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"83\" data-end=\"107\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"83\" data-end=\"96\"\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"109\" data-end=\"144\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"109\" data-end=\"127\"\u003eBlooming Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e June to August\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"146\" data-end=\"180\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"146\" data-end=\"165\"\u003eBloom Duration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 to 8 weeks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"182\" data-end=\"221\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"182\" data-end=\"196\"\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light, sweet fragrance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"223\" data-end=\"272\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"223\" data-end=\"247\"\u003ePlant Growing Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, clump-forming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"274\" data-end=\"831\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"274\" data-end=\"294\"\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e A hardy North American native perennial with slender stems and finely textured, fern-like foliage. Produces dense, cylindrical spikes of rosy-purple flowers that bloom progressively from the bottom to the top of each flower head. An exceptional nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. As a member of the pea family, it fixes nitrogen, improving soil health. Ideal for prairie gardens, meadows, native plantings, pollinator gardens, and naturalized landscapes.

Prefers full sun and well-drained sandy, gravelly, or loamy soils. Water regularly during establishment; once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and rarely requires supplemental watering. Avoid overly rich or poorly drained soils, as they can reduce longevity. Deadheading is optional, but leaving the seed heads provides winter interest and food for birds. Cut back old stems in early spring before new growth emerges. Fertilization is generally unnecessary.
