Grower's Notes:
An extremely floriferous plant that keeps blooming until the arrival of cool weather. Tri-Color Cuphea readily accepts being pruned during the warm growing season, and rewards you with producing lots of flowering branches. Butterflies and hummingbirds are attracted to its nectar rich flowers.

A tender perennial -- dormant during a mild winter. Mulch the roots well, and cover the plant with a blanket or frost-cloth when temperatures fall below 30 F.
