Lance-leaf tickseed grows in small clumps but forms extensive colonies. It is 1-2 1/2 feet tall and has<br />
leaves 3-4 inches long, opposite; sometimes alternate near the top where the leaves are fewer. Some of the<br />
leaves are deeply cut, almost forming 3 leaflets. Flower heads are yellow, 1-1 1/2 inches across. The<br />
yellow center or disk flowers stand out distinctly from the ray flowers, which appear to be attached just<br />
below them. Ray flowers are 4-lobed. The yellow, daisy-like flowers occur singly atop long, naked<br />
peduncles. This native species has branching stems at base and often forms sizable colonies along<br />
roadsides and in old fields.<br />
It should have frequent deadheading to keep it in bloom well into the summer.<br />
