Cupid™ White Improved Cuphea hyssopifolia

Cupid White Improved is a compact Cuphea hyssopifolia selection with abundant small, single white flowers and evergreen foliage. Its mounded form brings a low flowering accent to landscape beds and mixed plantings. ## Flowers and form The [Danziger cultivar profile](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/cupid-white-improved/) identifies Cupid White Improved and reports early flowering, small single blooms, a mounded habit, and a production size of 6 to 8 inches high by 10 to 12 inches wide. The [Cupid catalog listing](https://www.danzigeronline.com/files/smart-view/annuals_24-26_row/58/) describes the series as heat- and drought-tolerant. ## Siting The [RHS species profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/5036/cuphea-hyssopifolia/details) describes this evergreen species as suited to full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. Choose a sheltered site, particularly where hot afternoon exposure may stress foliage. ## Maintenance Water regularly during establishment and let excess drain away. In spring, trim lightly if the plant needs shaping or removal of damaged growth. Leave room for its mature spread so neighboring plants do not crowd its low form.
