Thanks for this video! After I bought the two David Verity kind, I wondered about the Vermillionaire when I researched it. I was surprised to read on the label that the David Verity is considered an annual. I plan to plant in the ground, especially now that I know how big it can get. I'm not big on containers because there's only a few places in my yard where the sprinkler will water them.
That makes sense! My David Verity came back last year from a freeze, but it came back from the ground level. All the above ground stems and foliage died in the freeze. I bought a new one this year because I want to start fresh in my container. I am considering planting one in the ground this year.
Yes this plant needs full sun I found that out 3 years ago. In the first one you showed there was a plant to the right with purple berries; what is that plant? Also are you going to leave the new cuphea uou planted outside over winter or bring it in if you get frost?
The plant to the right of the first cuphea in the video is the Bloomify series of mounding lantana. It is the color "rose" and I just love it. In the last 3 weeks it has started to put on more height, and I am letting it to see the growth. You know, I don't know yet if I am going to bring in the new cuphea or not if it freezes. I do know I'm not going to bring in the one I did last year as it lost all its leaves. What do you do with your plants when/if you have freezing temps? Last year I purchased a pop up greenhouse and a heater and I really liked it a lot. I might set that up again.
Have you tried planting the bat face variety of cuphea? I planted it last spring in full day east sun and it appeared to struggle in the intense summer heat. I wonder if the bat face is less heat tolerant than other varieties.
Hello! I have not tried the bat faced cuphea yet ... but I am considering it. I like the look of it. I do think the cuphea struggled a little during our excessive heat. I have mine in 4 different locations in the backyard and they didn't perform as well has I had expected them to.
Beautiful plants!!
Thank you so much! I love how many hummingbirds and butterflies this plant attracts to the backyard! 😍
