Description
C. lanceolata is a perennial forb/herb of the Asteraceae family native to North America.
Distribution
C. lanceolata is found throughout the United States apart from Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. It is also found in Ontario and British Columbia.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
The ideal habitat for the C. lanceolata is in dry soil with full sun. [1]
Phenology
Flowering of the C. lanceolata can occur anytime between January and July but it will most commonly flower between March and May, April producing the majority of the buds. [3]
Seed bank and germination
For successful seedlings, a firm seedbed is needed that has been lightly disked. Light plant debris is ideal; more will stifle plant germination. Germination occurs in the fall. [1]
