Coreopsis 'Li'l Bang Darling Clementine' (Tickseed)

Coreopsis 'Darling Clementine' is a hybrid tickseed cultivar in the Li'l Bang series from U.S.-based plant breeder Darrell Probst; the direct contrast to Probst's other famous tickseed series, Big Bang, the Li'l Bang Coreopsis all pack a lot of color into a smaller package. Noted for its attractive and consistent flowers and profuse blooms, Li'l Bang 'Darling Clementine' is a compact addition to any garden space, and will absolutely shine with its bountiful blooms of clementine-orange flowers. Though Li'l Bang 'Darling Clementine' is a hybrid of unknown parentage, all Coreopsis species are native to North, Central, and South America.

As a tickseed, 'Darling Clementine' has excellent tolerance to heat, drought, and full sun, but also puts on a better display than other low-growing ornamental tickseeds thanks to its especially profuse bright orange blooms. Growing to only 8-10" tall with a spread of about 12-18", 'Darling Clementine' tickseed forms gorgeous, dense clumps of flowers that last from early summer all the way into the fall. Attractive, eye-catching flowers are a source of nectar for a variety of bees and butterflies, and beyond ecological appeal, this cultivar's consistent, compact habit and its attractive, hardy habit make 'Darling Clementine' a great choice for a lot of different stubborn areas.
