Cuphea Honeyeater’s Lunch (Cuphea hybrid, PP 32,525) is a vibrant pollinator-friendly plant smothered in cherry-red, two-toned flowers. It blooms non-stop from summer to fall, and in warmer climates, it continues flowering year-round—bringing bold color even in winter.
This half-hardy perennial forms a neat, rounded habit, reaching up to 61 cm high and 91 cm wide. A magnet for hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, it’s perfect for containers, garden borders, and mass plantings. Originating from Australia, this variety thrives in well-draining soil and is hardy in USDA Zones 8–11.
