Description
The **Cuphea** plant, often known as the **cigar plant**, **firecracker plant**, or **bat-faced cuphea** (depending on the variety), is a charming, low-maintenance flowering plant loved for its bright, tubular blooms and ability to attract pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies.
Cuphea plants typically have:
* **Small, narrow leaves** with a bushy, compact growth habit
* **Colorful flowers** in shades of red, orange, purple, or pink
* A long blooming season, often from **spring through fall**
* A preference for **full sun to partial shade** and **well-drained soil**
They’re ideal for garden borders, containers, or as ground cover. Many species are heat-tolerant and thrive in tropical or subtropical climates. In cooler regions, Cuphea is often grown as an annual.
