Mexican marvel to dance through the summer into autumn
Fantastically colourful, heat-loving blooms which commence flowering in June and keep going through to September, without any need for deadheading (known as self-cleansing flowers). Cuphea procumbens ‘Sweet Talk Deep Pink’ has simple, deeply veined foliage which emerges in March and grows to form bushy mounds of opposite facing leaves. Stems grow up to 35cm in height and are smothered with windmill like flowers which have purple hues to the centre and are flushed with magenta pink on the outer petals. Cheery flowers will add swirling, pollinator-enticing touches to containers, baskets, rockeries and open ground. Blooms can also be cut for a vase so you can enjoy their cheery colour indoors too.
Cuphea procumbens ‘Sweet Talk Deep Pink’ is drought tolerant once it has established a good root structure and prefers a spot which has well-drained soil of any type, except clay. Plants will spread to 30cm – offering beneficial, weed-sup
