Description

Bright and bold Cuphea colour perfect for growing in your patio containers with regal Geranium-like flowers, and enviable all-weather tolerance, flowering through to late summer.

Transform your garden into a haven of wildlife with the punchy colours of this Enchanting Cuphea Collection, featuring three varieties. Exotic-looking flowers boast crinkled petals surrounding a central tube, erupting from a green bush.

Perfect for planting in hot sunny borders or as a feature in a patio pot or container, this trio is ready to burst to life from the tail end of spring, all the way through to autumn.

Despite the flowers appearing small in stature, the overall plant branches tightly and quickly become overwhelmed with an abundance of flowers and colour.

Supplied as six plug plants, including two each of:

  • Cuphea ‘Sweet Talk’ Lavender Splash - Violet-leaved bush produces pale lilac petals
  • Cuphea ‘Sweet Talk’ Deep Pink - Deep pink petals surround a violet central tube
  • Cuphea ‘Sweet Talk’ Red - Rich red petals, with a violet tube
Top Tips

These flowers usefully do not require any deadheading.

Care Information

Planting Advice:

  • Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
  • If you can’t do this, they can sit in their mini greenhouse for a week if upright and not too wet.
  • Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover. Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
  • Pot up and grow on in warm, frost free conditions until all risk of frost has passed. Alternatively, plant them where they are to flower - again when all risk of frost has passed.
  • When potting on, handle plugs carefully. Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
  • Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.
  • Plant approx. 20cm apart to allow them room to grow.
  • Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.

Aftercare Advice:

  • This collection can tolerate some partial shade, but if you're looking for the maximum blooms on compact plants then best results are achieved when grown in full sun where they can get at least 6-8 hours of light.
  • Plants prefer moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter and so if you grow them in containers, choose a potting mix designed for use in pots.
  • Water them regularly but take care not to overwater and this can cause root problems and fewer blooms.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
