Cuphea

i have one of these janette and it says on the label only lasts one season.
does yours say that? cos id like to try keep it going or maybe take cuttings from it

I bought these a while back Eileen this one and a blue I thought they were shrubs I will be upset if they only last this season Is yours in a pot ?

What are they Ladys its very Pretty :)

I think its something like a Himalayin heather Jacque

I bought one to fill a gap - I'm sure it's an annual, but worth trying cuttings!

Thanks Spritz think I will take some cuttings just in case !

How?? I think I might try in water - that often works for me.

I might go for the rooting powder first .

lol ill let you ladies try first and see what happens

I guess it depends on where you are and the weather. I have three of these and they are perennials here. I've never propagated them so I can't help there. Good luck Janette, let us know how it comes out.

I will keep you updated on their progress Gardengnome

I bought a pink and a white one about a month ago.
They are Cuphea hyssopifolia 'commonly' known as Hawaiian Heather.
From my research it seems they are perennials but not hardy.
They need to be overwintered indoors
so I have sunk the pots into the garden and shall bring the pots indoors before the first frost threatens.
I shall be interested to see how the cuttings go, so keep us posted please ladies.
Your photo is great, Janette ..... reckon the days of my humble camera are numbered :-)

Thanks Xela I think to be on the safe side i might just lift them before the frost ,but I will try some cuttings as well
