Coreopsis verticillata, commonly known as tickseed, is an easy-to-grow herbaceous perennial native to North America. In summer and autumn it produces bright yellow flowers that stand out against fern-like foliage.

Coreopsis 'Li'l Bang Red Elf' is a compact tickseed, forming mounds of finely cut green leaves, from which large scarlet blooms with a golden central eye are borne on red-green stems. Flowering over a long period, it’s a fantastic choice for a small garden or container display, and its blooms are a magnet for bees and other pollinators. It makes an excellent cut flower.

For best results, grow Coreopsis ‘Li'l Bang Red Elf’ in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil, though it will perform better in full sun.
