Cuphea hyssopifolia (Heather)
Color Name: Floriglory® Selena
Enjoy a profusion of delicate pink, purple, or violet flowers with chartreuse throats from spring to fall! Heather is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a great addition to any pollinator garden. This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is heat and drought tolerant, perfect for containers, borders, or mass plantings. Floriglory Selena boasts five times the flower power of traditional Mexican Heathers.
Growing Tips: Well-drained soil, preferably rich soil, but can tolerate loam, sand, clay, acidic or alkaline soils.
Moisture: Average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. Drought-tolerant once established.
Fertilizing: When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job.
