Mexican Heather (Cuphea hyssopifolia)

Mexican Heather (Cuphea hyssopifolia), also called False Heather or Elfin Herb, is a delightful, compact, mounding evergreen shrublet that produces a continuous, abundant display of tiny, perfectly formed lavender-purple, pink, or white flowers throughout the warm growing season. Its very fine, dark-green, heath-like foliage creates a refined, lacy texture. It is perfect for edging paths, garden borders, low formal hedges, and ground-covering mass plantings. It is heat-tolerant and thrives in full sun to partial shade with regular moisture, providing season-long colour with minimal effort.
