Cuphea ignea 'Strybing Sunset' Japanese Gardens

Cuphea ignea 'Strybing Sunset' Japanese GardensWhat a wonderful 'hummingbird plant' and long flowering perennial. Although somewhat tender, and only hardy to zone 8, this one should be grown if you can. Forming a compact plant that will be 2ft x 2ft in a container or in the garden, this noticed plant will be covered with little orange tubular 'firecracker' like flowers from spring until frost. A favorite here at the nursery.

The bright green sword-like foliage makes up to 3 flower buds that last for up to 2 weeks

kingianum is synonymous with R

but will be more green than gold in shade

A narrow growing magnolia that has flowers similar to Magnolia liliflora

Plant as a group if you have room for a wonderful effect

Will tolerate coastal winds

Considered by many to be one of the very best for its dark green shiny foliage that turns a stunning crimson in the fall

but now have been told it is actually this old fabulous hybrid

they are in clusters along the stems

Responds beautifully to pruning and shaping

looking quite 'fiery'

large and full
