Notes

'Honeybells' cuphea (Cuphea 'Honeybells') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It tolerates drought once settled in. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Lion's tail, Creme de Cognac dahlia, and Lemon verbena.
