Cuphea is a diverse genus of heat-loving plants native to the Americas, ranging from low-growing groundcovers to semi-woody shrubs. They are prized for their unique, tubular flowers in shades of red, orange, and purple, often resembling cigars or bat faces. These plants feature lush green foliage and a compact, mounding growth habit, making them ideal for containers, sunny borders, and pollinator gardens. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, showing remarkable drought tolerance once established.
