Cuphea llavea

   
Specimen Observations

The mounding habit of this plant makes it ideal for those bare spots in need of life. It gives texture to rock gardens and steps. A good performer in the Gingergarden.

Common Name: Bat-faced Cuphea

Date Acquired: 2003-05-04

Culture:

The bat-faced cuphea likes plenty of sun and regular watering. Like most cupheas, it is miserable n the shade. In too little sun, it may look like it is doing well but it gets scrawnier and scrawnier until one day it just gives up.

Zone: 8 and up

Size: 1 ft mounding

Color: red, purple
