PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
Cuphea 'Honeybells' is small but mighty, boasting massive flower power on a compact plant that can withstand high heat and continue in bloom all summer. This self-cleaning plant drops old flowers as new ones form, and its freely-branching nature ensures a full mounded form. With minimal care requirements, regular fertilization and watering are all that's needed to keep it healthy. It's an excellent choice for garden edging, containers, and windowboxes.
