Flowers that change color based on the temperature? It's not a fantasy, but Coreopsis Li'l Bang™ 'Starlight' IS a dream come true. In warm weather, the petals of each flower are pristine white with magenta highlights, but in colder weather, magenta consumes the entire blossom, contrasting beautifully with its sunny yellow center. You can expect this unique perennial to begin blooming in late spring and to continue its show all the way into autumn. As the seasons change, you have the chance to enjoy the full range of its color pallet.
Not only are its color-changing blooms lovely to behold, they are also quite cold hardy and can survive temperatures as low as -20F. Coreopsis Li'l Bang™ 'Starlight' is easy to care for and virtually maintenance-free, so it's a perfect plant for beginner gardeners. This sun-loving coreopsis can tolerate drought and prefers well-drained soil.
Use Coreopsis Li'l Bang™ 'Starlight' at the front of beds and borders or just stash a few in a vase for easy viewing indoors.
