Description

Magenta-red silky petals magically frost with white during the hottest part of season then return to velvety red when weather cools. The bright yellow center really pops against the deep-colored petals. Daisy-like blossoms will open a little earlier than the Big Bang„¢ varieties and at ½ the height. From the Li™l Bang Series, the naturally compact habit of Coreopsis Red Elf is disease resistant and long blooming. From master hybridizer, Darrell Probst.
