Coreopsis × 'Li'l Bang™ 'Starlight' is a compact, long-blooming tickseed that brightens beds and containers with crisp white petals and a burgundy star at the center. Flower color can shift with weather, so your plants may show more blush tones in cool spells and clearer whites in heat. Expect a tidy mound about 8-12 inches tall and roughly 12-18 inches wide, blooming for a long stretch from early summer into fall.
Give it full sun for the strongest flowering, but it will also perform in part shade, especially where afternoons are hot. Plant it in well-drained soil and water regularly during its first season so roots establish well; after that, let the soil dry slightly between waterings. This selection is generally easy to grow and a good fit for borders, edging, and patio pots.
To keep flowers coming, deadhead spent blooms or lightly shear the plant after a heavy flush. A midseason trim can encourage fresh growth and more buds. Pair it with other sun-loving perennials and grasses for a bright, cottage-style look, or repeat it in groups for a clean, modern drift.
Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, cut stems back after frost or leave seedheads for winter texture, then clean up in early spring before new growth starts. Deer tend to avoid it, and the flowers are a reliable nectar source for many pollinators.
