Another common name for this plant is Lance-leaved Coreopsis, even though the leaves are often broader toward their tips than at the base of the plant. This plant can be distinguished from other Coreopsis species primarily by its leaves; they are undivided, or have 1-2 small lateral lobes near the base. Different populations can vary significantly in the hairiness of the leaves, ranging from glabrous to scattered long white hairs (the plants in the photographs are the latter, var. villosa). Because of the showy flowers and ease of cultivation, Sand Coreopsis is often grown in flower gardens. Return
