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. Deer and rabbit resistant once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"865\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"845\"\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 to 45 cm apart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"892\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"878\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 to 90 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"918\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"904\"\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 to 45 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"1504\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"949\"\u003eMaintenance Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low maintenance. 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. 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","brand":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":47209457451145,"sku":"G15212","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3576\/1033\/files\/G15212Daleapurpurea.jpg?v=1783430379","url":"https:\/\/www.scottsnurseryonline.com\/products\/coreopsis-lanceolata-1","provider":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.
