Like a flashing neon sign that says "Eat at Joes!", a ring of large crepe-like intensely red petals, accented with purple bee guides, flare around the ends of the tubular flowers like a flamenco dress guiding in hummingbirds for a rich nectar reward. Sweet Talk™ Red Cuphea are compact well-branching plants that revel in the heat and sun of summer flowering from spring to fall. Use these heat and sun-loving tropicals in mixed containers, as specimens in pots or hanging baskets, or add them to the front of a sunny border or landscape. The Sweet Talk™ Cupheas will grow and flower best in a well-draining, fertile soil with average moisture. Images courtesy of PanAmerican Seed, all rights reserved. Item# 13314
