Coreopsis ‘Lil Bang Daybreak’, Lil Bang Daybreak Tickseed

Lil Bang Daybreak Coreopsis is a compact perennial celebrated for its cheerful golden-yellow flowers accented by rich red eyes. The daisy-like blooms rise above finely textured green foliage, creating a bright and colorful display from late spring through early fall. Its dense, mounded habit and continuous flowering make it an appealing choice for adding season-long interest and vibrant contrast to sunny landscapes.

Growing approximately 10 to 12 inches tall with a spread of 12 to 18 inches, this dwarf selection is ideal for borders, edging, patio containers, and mass plantings. Its compact size allows it to fit neatly into smaller gardens while blending effortlessly with other perennials and ornamental grasses. The abundant blooms create a strong visual impact without overwhelming neighboring plants, making it valuable in both formal and informal garden designs.

Lil Bang Daybreak Coreopsis performs best in full sun and thrives in well-drained loam or sandy soils. Regular watering during establishment supports healthy root development, while established plants become tolerant of dry conditions. A balanced fertilizer applied in spring can promote vigorous growth and flowering, although excessive feeding is unnecessary. Deadheading faded blooms encourages continued flowering and helps maintain a tidy appearance throughout the growing season.

Care Instructions:

Planting: Plant in full sun in well-drained soil.
Soil: Prefers loam or sand with good drainage.
Watering: Water regularly until established, then during prolonged dry periods as needed.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring if desired.
Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.
Spacing: Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart.
Maintenance: Remove old foliage in late winter or early spring and divide clumps as needed.

Gardeners appreciate Lil Bang Daybreak Coreopsis for its dependable bloom production, compact growth habit, and low-maintenance requirements. The colorful flowers attract butterflies and other pollinators while providing lasting seasonal beauty in beds and containers. Its versatility, drought tolerance, and extended flowering period make it a reliable addition to landscapes seeking bright color with minimal upkeep.
