PLANT PROFILE
Flamboyant colours in densely packed beautiful big blooms.

Compact, mounding forms of Cuphea llavea which are particularly noteable for its flowers that are not only in bright, clear colours but also considerably larger than those of the species. Each has a contrasting throat colour of deep purple and have slightly ruffled petal edges for a highly decorative effect.

High flowering volume and a long flowering season.

Flowers appear in mass from november through to may over a neat mound of light green foliage. A fast grower for those needing quick results.

This series includes a range of varieties in varying colours to make a bright statement in any garden: Flamenco 'Rumba', 'Tango', 'Samba', 'Cha Cha' and 'Jive'.

Dry tolerant once established. Great for containers as well as garden beds/borders in a full sun location.
CULTURAL CARE
Grows in most soil types providing it is well draining.

Dry tolerant once established.

Protect from severe frost.

Currently not available in Australia.
