Ladybird, also known as Tickseed, is a perennial flowering plant native to North America. Terra Nova developed this Vercitillata hybrid for its compactness, mildew resistance, and superior red coloring. This plant offers a mounding habit of 12" tall and 15" wide with red flowers atop bright green foliage, blooming from June through September. Perennial in zone 5-10, Ladybird attracts bees and butterflies and is powdery mildew resistant. Striking red blooms make a long-lasting statement in landscape borders, flourishing in full sun with minimal water. Grow this plant alongside Bengal Tiger for a distinctive color combination.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
