Planting Directions

How to Plant & Care for Li'l Bang™ Red Elf Coreopsis

Planting Instructions

  • Location: Choose a spot with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Soil: Prefers well-draining soil; sandy or loamy soil works best.
  • Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for good air circulation.
  • Planting Depth: Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. Set the plant in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.

Container Planting

  • Use a pot with drainage holes.
  • Fill with well-draining potting mix.
  • Water when the top inch of soil is dry.

Care & Maintenance

  • Watering: Once established, water deeply once a week, more in extreme heat.
  • Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) in early spring.
  • Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
  • Winter Care: In colder zones, mulch lightly to protect roots.
  • Dividing: Every 2–3 years, divide clumps in early spring to maintain vigor.
