1" long tubular fiery red-orange flowers tipped in white seemingly cover up this plant throughout the growing season to yearround under warm frost free conditions. Vermillionaire™ Cigar Plant is basically a compact better branching form of the hummingbird garden staple David Verity that grows to about 2'x2'. This new compact Cuphea has made a big splash with its exceptional flower power and, like David Verity, it is a heat and sun-loving flowering machine which is perfectly suited for medium-sized containers. It can be used as a a stand alone specimen, in combination plantings, and even as a hanging basket plant as well as in the garden and landscape. Provide a full sun to part shade location in a fertile, average moist soil. The flowers attract hummingbirds as well larger butterflies, especially the Sulphur butterflies with their strong affinity for red flowers. Item# 11996
