Coreopsis
‘Enchanted Eve’
‘Red Elf’
‘Darling Clementine’
Here’s an idea you cannot afford to pass up –
Take any of the Li’l Bang Coreopsis varieties listed below. Transplant 72 cell liners into 1 gallon containers now for retail ready pots in 6-8 weeks.
These well branched compact and easy to grow varieties are sterile and flower until the first hard frost.
This is a great alternative to the traditional mum market.
Any unsold pots can be sold the following spring –
| Coreopsis | |
| 1512 Darling Clementine (+0.25) 72’s | 0.98 |
| 864 Daybreak (+0.25) 72’s | 0.98 |
| 4464 Enchanted Eve (+0.25) 72’s | 0.98 |
| 1152 Red Elf (+0.25) 72’s | 0.98 |
| 432 Riding Hood (+0.25) 72’s | 0.98 |
