Low, dense, and well-behaved, it forms a neat mound just 8–12 inches tall and wide—ideal for edging, containers, and the front of a sunny border where lesser plants tend to sprawl and wander.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"319\" data-end=\"657\"\u003eIts flowers are a rich, velvety red with a warm golden eye at the center, blooming freely from early summer well into fall. Unlike older coreopsis that fade in the heat or grow leggy by midsummer, ‘Red Elf’ holds its form and keeps flowering with a quiet persistence—no fuss, no theatrics, just steady color when the garden needs it most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"975\"\u003eGive it full sun and well-drained soil, and it will thrive where many perennials falter. It tolerates heat, humidity, and dry spells once established, making it well-suited for Southern gardens and leaner soils. Deadheading will encourage even more blooms, though it will carry on respectably without much attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"1110\"\u003ePollinators—especially bees and butterflies—find it easily, drawn to its open form and long season of bloom. Deer tend to pass it by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1112\" data-end=\"1327\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eUse it where discipline and color are both required: along paths, in mixed borders, tucked into containers, or massed for a low, glowing drift of red. It doesn’t clamor for attention—but it never disappears, either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5-pA_pXpghI\" height=\"607\" width=\"342\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eName(s):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cem\u003eCoreopsis\u003c\/em\u003e Li'l Bang™ 'Red Elf' PP27918\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlower Color:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSpring to early summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHerbaceous, green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight\/Spread:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8 inches to 12 inches x 10 to 15 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClimate Zones:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5, 6, 7, 8, 9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Find Your Plant Hardiness Zone by Zip Code\" href=\"https:\/\/planthardiness.ars.usda.gov\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFind Your USDA Plant Hardiness Zone By Zip Code\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFull sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWell-drained to dry, average to poor, pH 5.1 to 8.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDrought tolerant, low maintenance, attracts butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUses:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eXeriscaping, massed planting, naturalizing, ground cover, native plant collections, butterfly gardens, perennial borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eComments:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Coreopsis is known to attract \u003ca title=\"Little Metalmark - Calephelis virginiensis\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butterfliesandmoths.org\/species\/Calephelis-virginiensis\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLittle Metalmark\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Aaron's Skipper - Poanes aaroni\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butterfliesandmoths.org\/species\/Poanes-aaroni\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAaron's Skipper\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Arogos Skipper - Atrytone arogos\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butterfliesandmoths.org\/species\/Atrytone-arogos\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eArogos Skipper\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Poweshiek Skipperling - Oarisma poweshiek\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butterfliesandmoths.org\/species\/Oarisma-poweshiek\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePoweshiek Skipperling\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca title=\"Southern Dogface - Zerene cesonia\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butterfliesandmoths.org\/species\/Zerene-cesonia\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSouthern Dogface\u003c\/a\u003e butterflies, among others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe can not ship this item to Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evergreen Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59247123857489,"sku":"PERCOREOREDELFQT","price":109.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/4864\/0081\/files\/Screenshot2026-03-27at15-17-26CoreopsisLi_lBang_RedElf_PP27918-Qt._EvergreenNurseryInc.png?v=1774639141","url":"https:\/\/gogardennow.com\/products\/coreopsis-lil-bang%e2%84%a2-red-elf-pp27918-qt-pots-flat-of-10","provider":"GoGardenNow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
