Colorful, compact, and absolutely hummingbird-approved, Cuphea ‘Hummingbird’s Lunch’ is a nectar-rich cigar plant that has been wowing gardeners since its 2020 debut. This tidy shrub grows about 2' tall and 3' wide, filling out with dark green leaves and an endless summer parade of reddish-pink tubular flowers tipped in yellow and marked with burgundy throats.

Also known as a cuphea or cigar plant, this cheerful bloomer is a fabulous choice for pollinator gardens, sunny borders, patio containers, and low-maintenance shrub plantings. The 1.5" flowers keep coming nonstop until first frost, drawing hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies in happy numbers. Its warm flower color pairs beautifully with salvias, ornamental grasses, yarrow, lavender, and other long-blooming perennials.

Plant Cuphea ‘Hummingbird’s Lunch’ in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil and regular water for best bloom. Easy, floriferous, and wonderfully useful, it is a bright little feast for garden visitors. Explore more hummingbird favorites in our Cuphea - Cigar Plants collection.
