mixed container ( photo / image / picture from Kay's Garden ) Help me out with my brain cramp! My friend gave me these plants, and we talked about the one with the cute little red flowers. It didn't have a tag., but she told me it's name. Now I can not remember... Can anybody name this plant?
Thanks Toni! I knew you'd be all over this... Funny how my brain can just lose a thought sometimes...Maybe it's the heat...
Your welcome, I knew it because I have grown it a couple of years but none of the garden centers had it for sale lately. I had hoped being this far south it would be a perennial but the last two winters didn't allow for that.
I never heard of Batface Cuphea before. They almost look like Salvia. I also see they have purple tongues so to speak. Very neat looking.
The leaves do sort of resemble a Salvia... I am going to try for a better photo of the bloom when I get out with my camera again.
Batface bllom ( photo / image / picture from Kay's Garden ) Me again... here is Bat face up close wish my camera took better close ups :-|
They are the cutest little flowers. My sis-in-law had some growing a few years ago... I tried starting one from a cutting back then but it didn't take. when I saw one on the mark-down rack the other day... no hesitation whatsoever in putting in my cart!
I love all the cupheas. Batface is so showy, you're gonna love it. I've had it come back from seed before.
I had it last summer but I haven't seen it yet at the nurserys so I am thinking I might of missed it. I did like it and will buy it again.
