Cuphea (Firecracker Plant, Cigar Plant)

Cuphea, commonly known as Firecracker Plant or Cigar Plant, is a heat-loving, long-blooming annual that produces tubular, nectar-rich flowers in shades of red, orange, purple, or pink. Its continuous blooms from late spring to frost make it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, and containers. This resilient plant thrives in hot, dry conditions and is highly attractive to hummingbirds and pollinators. With its mounding to trailing habit, Cuphea is perfect for hanging baskets and mixed plantings, adding vibrant color and energy to any sunny garden space.
