Plant Features
Bat Face Cuphea plant has a nice, long blooming season and is a broad-leafed evergreen in areas where winter temperatures don't fall below 25°F. This Cuphea does great as a landscape and in the pot! Brightly colored, this shrub is called Bat Face because at the end of each burgundy-hued tube, the blossom spreads out to form red ears and a royal-purple bat face! Showy to the extreme, you will love this pretty little shrub, almost as much as the hummingbirds and butterflies!
