Cuphea FloriGlory Diana

2018 AAS Ornamental Vegetative Winner

Cuphea, commonly known as Mexican Heather, is an ideal plant for borders, mass plantings and containers. FloriGlory Diana was highly praised by the AAS Judges for its larger flowers, impressive number of flowers and the darker, more intensely colored magenta flowers. The dark green foliage complement the flowers and really makes a statement for this new AAS Winner. With FloriGlory Diana, gardeners will be delighted with the compact (10-12 inch) size, longer flowering time, heat and weather tolerance.

Also a popular container plant for pots and baskets. Plants thrive in the heat and are great for drought-tolerant landscapes.
