A magical plant, Li’l Bang Starlight Tickseed, Coreopsis, will enchant you with its fascinating flowers that change color. The flowers appear for months in summer and fall, and change color based on the temperature. You’ll be mesmerized watching the flowers transform. During the warm days of summer, the pearly-white petals are highlighted by rich magenta. In fall as the weather cools, all the petals turn deep magenta, creating a stunning display with its bright yellow center. Starlight makes a charming, long-lasting cut flower. It forms a pretty mound of highly disease-resistant, dark-green foliage. It is a fantastic plant that can replace annuals in gardens and containers.

Plant Coreopsis in full sun, at least 6 hours of good sun a day. Although not fussy about soil, they perform best in soil that has been amended with organic matter. Coreopsis are tolerant of drought but will bloom best with consistent moisture. Keep new plants well-watered until they are established. Although no deadheading is required, shearing plants in midsummer will tidy up the plants and encourage them to rebloom.
