Notes
'Lavender Lace' cuphea (Cuphea hyssopifolia 'Lavender Lace') 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 and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It forms a dense, evergreen mound and grows at a moderate rate. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers, and it tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Tuscan Blue rosemary, Sweet potato vine, Sedge, and Lemon Coral sedum.
