Description
The Coreopsis verticillata 'Ladybird' is a cultivar of Whorled Coreopsis with large, bright red flowers that bloom from summer to autumn. This variety blooms continuously, with new flowers quickly covering the old ones. Its vegetation is compact, well-branched, and adorned with abundant finely cut dark green foliage. Hardy in well-drained soil, this perennial thrives in full sun and looks stunning in borders, rock gardens, edgings, flower pots, and bouquets.
The Coreopsis verticillata 'Ladybird' belongs to the Asteraceae family. Its wild ancestor, the Whorled Coreopsis, is native to the plains of Central America, Mexico, and the southeastern United States. 'Ladybird' is a recent cultivar selected by Terra Nova Nurseries in the USA for its compact habit and abundant flowering. This herbaceous perennial with a woody rootstock forms a dense, slightly spreading clump, highly branched. It reaches 35 cm in height with a spread of 25-30 cm. The flowering period of this variety is very long: it starts in May and continues until October. The bright red flower heads, 3.5 cm in diameter, open from globose buds and are arranged in whorls of 3 along the slender stems. The petal tips are yellow. The dark green, glossy foliage consists of 6 cm long leaves, finely divided into linear leaflets. The plant slowly spreads through a network of slender, non-running rhizomes. The foliage is deciduous and absent in winter.
The Whorled Coreopsis 'Ladybird' is a simple and charming perennial that can be used in various ways. It will thrive in a rock garden, on a difficult slope, alongside wallflowers, Damask nigellas, and wild flax, in a herbaceous border, in the company of lavenders or snapdragons. In a pot or container, this plant blooms continuously from the first year. For a beautiful summer display, both in the ground and in large pots, with minimal water requirements, it can be paired with Nepeta grandiflora 'Dawn to dusk'. Lastly, it makes a lovely addition to summer bouquets, like a little sun in the house.

Planting and care
Perennial coreopsis plants are sensitive to winter moisture and heavy soils. These plants require full sun, even in hot weather, to bloom well. They prefer a slightly moist to slightly dry, light, porous, gravelly or sandy soil that is always well-drained, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline, even if it is poor. They will also adapt well to a humus-bearing and moist soil, as long as the drainage is perfect. Under such conditions, they flower and live for a long time. To encourage reblooming, it is preferable to remove faded flowers, especially at the end of August.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
