Cuphea ‘Strybing Sunset’

With its wonderful & useful, densely stemmed, 3’ x 3’ shape & year around profuse floral display here near the coast, ‘Strybing Sunset’ has certainly become one of my favorite easy care, bang-for-the-buck shrubby perennials. Zillions (okay, hundreds) of bouncy, glowing, 1.5” blooms, complete with cute panda ears set against rich green, heart shaped leaves bring movement & bright color to a shady (or sunny) garden. Perfect for growing under peachy Brugmansia ‘Charles Grimaldi’. Rich soil for best show! Very tolerant of containers!
