Coreopsis 'Ladybird'

Coreopsis ‘Ladybird’ is the patented hybrid selected for its compact mound and red ray florets tipped in gold. Its short, grass-green stems carry daisy-like flower heads through summer. ## Features The patent records the denomination ‘Ladybird’ and describes a 4 cm flower head, strong vigor, and a very compact mounding habit. It identifies the plant as an herbaceous perennial for a sunny landscape or container site and gives hardiness as Zone 6, perhaps lower. [USPP27362P2](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP27362P2/en) ## Growing Conditions Give this tickseed a sunny position where its red-and-gold flowers can be seen clearly. The patent describes flowering through the summer; local timing will vary with climate and growing conditions. ## Maintenance Remove spent flower heads when you want to tidy the mound. Keep the plant label with the planting so the patented ‘Ladybird’ selection remains distinct from other red-and-gold Coreopsis cultivars.
