{"product_id":"coreopsis-ladybird","title":"Coreopsis 'Ladybird'","description":"\u003cp\u003eCoreopsis Ladybird is a highly compact, short-lived perennial tickseed that produces an unbelievably abundant, smothering display of deep red, daisy-like blooms. It forms a tight, brilliantly structured mound of fine green foliage that looks exceptionally neat at the front of the bed, acting as the ultimate, highly stable landing pad for feeding butterflies during the peak heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rugged prairie native absolutely demands full sun and sharp, sandy drainage, and it will rapidly rot if forced into heavy, compacted clay. Once established, it becomes incredibly drought-tolerant and actively resents being pampered with a hose. To stop this prolific sprinter from flowering itself to death, you must shear the entire plant back brutally by a third in late summer to force life-saving basal growth before the cold weather hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GardenersDream","offers":[{"title":"9cm pot","offer_id":59313192108366,"sku":"PLANTS_-V-_CORLAD_9CM","price":7.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/7827\/5406\/files\/00_GardenersDream_Coreopsis_Ladybird.jpg?v=1778227192","url":"https:\/\/www.gardenersdream.co.uk\/products\/coreopsis-ladybird","provider":"Gardeners Dream","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
