Cuphea - Hummingbird's Lunch
Nectar-rich blooms for hummingbirds
From its debut in 2020, this colorful Aussie Cuphea has been wowing gardeners. Weighing in at a tidy 2' tall by 3' wide, come summer it puts out an endless parade of inch and a half reddish pink tubular flowers, each capped with yellow at the tips and with burgundy throats. Nectar rich, the flowers attract scads of hummers, as well as bees and butterflies. Blooming continues nonstop until first frost. Dark green leaves add a pleasing contrast. This low maintenance shrub is a great addition to any pollinator garden or just a way to add dazzling color to a sunny bed. This firecracker plant is happy in a container, giving you the luxury of locating it for maximum visual effect. Happy in sun or light shade and very drought tolerant, this cuphea can also handle a variety of soils. Trim to desired shape.

Guarantee
We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
