Cuphea hyssopifolia, commonly known as Mexican heather, is a compact, evergreen perennial prized for its fine-textured foliage and abundance of small purple, lavender, pink, or white flowers. Blooming nearly year-round in warm climates, it attracts butterflies and bees while providing continuous color in borders, mass plantings, containers, and foundation beds. It performs exceptionally well in the heat and humidity of North Florida and South Georgia.

Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Trim lightly as needed to maintain a compact shape and encourage continuous blooming
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer if needed
