Cuphea hyssopifolia ‘Mauve’ (Mauve False Heather)

Cuphea hyssopifolia ‘Mauve’, commonly known as Mauve False Heather or Mexican False Heather, is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its fine green foliage and abundance of delicate mauve flowers. Its dense, rounded habit creates a soft, attractive appearance, while the small flowers provide colour for much of the year, particularly through spring and autumn.

An excellent choice for garden borders, edging, rockeries, low hedges and containers, this hardy variety brings reliable colour without demanding high maintenance. It performs well in full sun to part shade and responds well to light pruning, making it easy to maintain as a neat, compact feature or mass-planted border.
