Cuphea Honeybells - A Hummingbird Favorite!

WHEN TO SET OUTSIDE

After all danger of frost has passed.

PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION

Massive flower power in a hearty little plant, 'Honeybells' shrugs off high heat and continues to bloom all summer. Self-cleaning–the old flowers drop away as new ones form–and freely-branching for a tidy form. It requires little in the way of care, just fertilize and water regularly. Best as garden edging and planted in pots and window boxes. Hummingbirds LOVE these!
