Looking to help native pollinators in your area. Li'l Bang™ Red Elf Tickseed is a long-blooming North American native that is sure to bring smiles and butterflies to your backyard. The flowers have radiant golden centers with dark red velvet petals. Coreopsis is compact, only reaching 8 to 12 inches in height. It forms a beautiful rounded mound and its blooms last all Summer long.
These dwarf beauties were bred to be tough and drought-resistant. Its upright habit makes a great filler in containers since it will spread slightly up to 10 to 15 inches. The deep red color makes a red carpet appeal that can be showcased front and center along border walkways.
Li'l Bang Red Elf Tickseed Care
Coreopsis thrives in the full sun. These flowers are not picky. Any old soil will do. Just give this plant well-draining soil and let the flowers do all the work. No deadheading is required. Shear the first flush of blooms when flowers start to decline. Trimming will help keep flowers vigorous till early fall. Not much care is needed in fertilizing. Applying a top dressing of compost annually is all that is needed.
Coreopsis is hardy to zones 5 to 9. Fall temperatures cause the plant to go dormant, so applying 2 inches of mulch will help to protect and insulate roots over the Winter months. No need to tidy up or prune in the winter since a flush of new growth will persist come Spring.
Li'l Bang Red Elf Tickseed Spacing
Give Coreopsis room to grow by spacing each plant 15 inches on center in the landscape. Try Li'l Bang™ Red Elf in the most unlikely places like a rock garden. Prepare to be amazed!

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.
