For an injection of color that lasts all summer long, this coreopsis is ideal. From the Li'l Bang™ series, Enchanted Red Tickseed displays deep red flowers with a contrasting yellow center. With its low and spreading habit, this tickseed is perfect for the front of a bed or a border. Even though small in size, Li'l Bang™ Enchanted Red Tickseed adds a big impact wherever it is grown.
Being drought resistant once established, this coreopsis is low maintenance and easy to care for. Coreopsis is native to North America and suitable for growing in zones 4 to 8. Thankfully resistant to deer and rabbits, Li'l Bang™ Enchanted Red Tickseed can be grown worry-free in rural landscapes. As a small and drought-tolerant plant, it is well suited to container growing.
Li'l Bang™ Enchanted Red Tickseed Care
To put on its best display, Li'l Bang™ Enchanted Red Tickseed should be planted in full sun. It prefers free-draining soil, so any ground that is prone to waterlogging is best avoided. Although fairly drought-tolerant once settled, it will need regular watering for the first season at least. To promote its flowers all summer long, a slow-release, balanced fertilizer can be added in spring.
Deadheading throughout the growing season will keep a neat and tidy appearance. Once the foliage has died back in the fall, the stems can be cut to the base and removed to make way for new growth in spring. In northern areas or frost pockets, any container-grown plants can be placed under cover to protect them from the cold and winter storms.
Li'l Bang™ Enchanted Red Tickseed Spacing
Lower growing than most coreopsis varieties, Li'l Bang™ Enchanted Red Tickseed can grow to an eventual 8-10 inches high by 15-18 inches wide. If planting this tickseed out as part of a group, it can be planted 15-18 inches apart from its neighbor.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
