A Bit of History & Meaning
Coreopsis, often called “tickseed,” has been a staple in American gardens for generations. The 'Lil Bang' series was created to offer a compact, yet abundant bloom, perfect for modern gardens that still embrace classic charm. With its cheerful and bright flowers, Coreopsis symbolizes happiness, lasting joy, and friendship—the very same qualities we cherish here at Wright’s Market.

Where It Grows Best
This compact beauty thrives in full sun, making it the perfect addition to any bright garden space. Reaching just 8 to 12 inches tall, 'Lil Bang' is ideal for borders, pathways, and small containers. It’s also heat- and drought-tolerant once established, which means it’s both practical and pretty, offering a long season of color from late spring through fall. Whether you’re in a Southern climate or working with limited space, this plant is perfect for creating a joyful, low-maintenance garden.

Care Instructions

• Water: Moderate watering when young; drought-tolerant once established.
