Cuphea micropetala

This mad blooming, shrubby perennial is growing out of our neighbor's 1' across parking strip, and we think it's rather the envy of the neighborhood. Evergreen and ever-blooming, it's a fiesta of non-stop bloom in mild climates like ours (in colder climates it's known to put on its best show from August to October). Zillions of yummy 2.5" bicolor "candy-corn" looking flowers adorn the many radiating red stems, making this the most visited-by-hummingbirds plant we've ever seen! Nice glossy foliage, it's drought, clay and salt tolerant. Totally easy! To 4' x 5', cut back to 1.5' tall in Winter to maintain a smaller shape.

We guarantee that the plants we sell are healthy and viable at the time they leave our care.

If a plant arrives in substandard condition, please take clear photographs and contact us within 48 hours of delivery. To ensure eligibility under this guarantee, we strongly encourage you to open and unpack your shipment immediately upon delivery and inspect the plants thoroughly.
