Li’l Bang Red Elf Tickseed 1 Live Flowering Perennial, 1 Quart Pot – Coreopsis × ‘Red Elf’

Li’l Bang™ Red Elf Tickseed (Coreopsis × ‘Red Elf’, commonly marketed as Li’l Bang™ Red Elf) is a compact flowering perennial admired for its rich, deep red, daisy-like flowers and attractive green foliage. Its colorful blooms feature golden-yellow centers surrounded by velvety red petals, creating a striking display from late spring through summer and often into early fall.

This ornamental Coreopsis selection develops a dense, compact, mounding growth habit. Li’l Bang Red Elf is well suited for sunny perennial borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, rock gardens, garden edging, and decorative outdoor containers. Its vibrant flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other visiting pollinators, while the finely textured green foliage provides an attractive backdrop throughout the growing season.

Li’l Bang Red Elf Tickseed performs best in full sun and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Once established, it can tolerate occasional dry conditions. As an herbaceous perennial, it naturally enters winter dormancy in colder climates and produces fresh growth when favorable growing conditions return.

Each order includes 1 live Li’l Bang Red Elf Tickseed supplied in a 1-quart nursery container (QT).
