Cuphea

The name of the perennial plant Cuphea comes from Greek and means "curved, bent" The name of the flower speaks for itself - twisting branches covered with bright flowers gather in a spherical bush. Mexico and the USA are considered the homeland of Cuphea, where it is often called a cigar tree, because its flowers look like a burning cigar.

Cuphea can be easily recognized by a lot of long, tubular flowers of red, purple, pink or white colours. A bush 40-50 cm high consists of strong branches with small oval dark green leaves. In our country, Cuphea is quite popular, but more often it is planted as an annual plant in pots or containers. Cuphea makes any space elegant, people decorate terraces and balconies with it. Moreover, gardeners often notice that the bright fruits of Cuphea attract butterflies and create fairy atmosphere.

Since Cuphea comes from countries with temperate tropical climate, the plant in your garden can take a sunny spot or partial shade in well-drained soil. Bushes must be planted at a distance of 35 cm from each other. The plant begins to bloom when the first sunny days come, in March, and continues to bloom until September. During this period, Cuphea will require a large amount of water, and in winter time watering is reduced to a minimum. Also, regular pruning of branches will provide the plant with dense growth and prevent overgrowth.
