Coreopsis x LI’L BANG™ Red Elf (PP27918) is a compact, red flowering selection of tickseed in the Lil Bang™ series developed by breeder Darrell Probst. The blooms (up to 2″ in diameter) have deep burgundy-red petals surrounding bright yellow center disks and are held on thin stems up to 12″ above the narrow, lance-shaped foliage. Flowers continuously all summer and into fall, especially with deadheading. Attractive to butterflies and other insect pollinators. It can be used as a cut flower, although the thin stems may require the support of other flowers in a vase.

A Northern Sunset Perennial. It prefers rich, well-drained soil in full sun to part sun.
