Description

Botanical name (Cuphea Hyssopifolia) – This is a small tropical evergreen sub-shrub with compact form and fine textured foliage. It grows to form flat topped mounds. The plant’s flat feathery sprays of foliage are long and are highly branched. The small oblong leaves are arranged alternately the length of the stems giving the plant a fern like appearance. In tropical climates tiny flowers emerge from the axils (the points where the leaf attaches to a stem) to create a show of color that lasts for much of the year. Flowers range from the typical purple and lavender to the less frequently seen white.
