Discover the beauty and charm of Cuphea at Waterwise Botanicals!

Cupheas—also known as cigar plants or Mexican heather—are some of the most delightful bloomers you can add to your garden. With their vibrant tubular flowers in shades of purple, pink, orange, and red, they’re a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees.

In this video, we’ll showcase Cuphea varieties growing right here in our display gardens and share why they’re a must-have for any pollinator-friendly landscape.

From the time I was a little girl, helping my mom plant sweet peas, to being in the nursery business for almost twenty years…I’ve loved gardening. Some of my best days were spent whiling away my time in the garden, visiting nurseries, browsing through endless garden books and magazines, and garden design ideas at Waterwise Botanicals plant nursery.

Working in this industry has taught me well, but what I love most is the creativity that goes along with it. Designing a beautiful landscape, or meeting such wonderful people who share their enthusiasm & ideas for gardening. I never tire of discovering new plants, or changing up the mood of my garden.
 
​I have a passion for photography and writing, so you will usually find me with my camera trying to capture a shot of a beautiful plant or design. My articles are written to inspire, encourage, and share some pearls of wisdom I’ve gathered through the years, as well as highlight other authors, plants and concepts that are trending in design. So, let’s take a journey together “IN THE GARDEN”.
