About Enchantia Purple Cuphea

Enchantia™ Purple is a compact, mounded Mexican heather with vivid purple flowers and fine green foliage. Its spreading form suits sunny or partly shaded beds, low borders, and patio containers where a steady summer display is welcome. Ball FloraPlant identifies Cuphea hyssopifolia ‘FLORCUMY05’ and gives a mature height of 10–14 inches and spread of 12–16 inches ([product profile](https://www.ballfloraplant.com/Products/Details/?phid=020510046004341)). ## Garden Use Set it near a border front, along an edge, or in a mixed container where its rounded mound can soften neighboring plants. Small tubular flowers attract pollinators; the grower notes summer performance and tolerance of heat and dry conditions once established. Existing exposure suits full sun to part shade. ## Growing Conditions Allow room for its 12–16 inch spread and use well-drained soil or potting mix. Water while plants establish and adjust to rainfall; check pots during hot weather. The listed 10–14 inch height keeps this selection useful toward the front of a planting. ## Maintenance Trim lightly if the mound needs shaping or stems extend beyond an edge. Remove spent or damaged growth as needed, and avoid hard pruning that would interrupt summer flowers.
