The Totally Tempted® Vivid Violet™ Cuphea (Cuphea procumbens) stuns with its profusion of violet tubular flowers accented by a hint of magenta, blooming non-stop from spring through frost. This heat-loving annual offers unmatched flower power, making it perfect for adding color and charm to garden beds, borders, and containers. Its low, spreading habit makes it a superior choice for ground cover or cascading beauty in hanging baskets and window boxes. Unlike many flowering plants, it delivers season-long impact without requiring constant care.

Native to tropical regions, this Cuphea is heat and drought-tolerant, making it a resilient choice for sunny landscapes. The Totally Tempted® Vivid Violet™ Cuphea attracts hummingbirds and pollinators, adding movement and life to your garden. Its compact growth habit and self-cleaning flowers ensure a tidy appearance without frequent deadheading. Ideal for mass plantings, it also thrives in container gardens or as a filler in mixed arrangements, where its long-lasting blooms shine.

Totally Tempted® Vivid Violet™ Cuphea Care

Plant in well-draining soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH in full sun to part shade. Space plants where they will receive at least six hours of sunlight daily for optimal flower production. Water consistently but avoid oversaturation, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer monthly to support vigorous growth and abundant blooms.

Pruning is minimal, as this plant naturally maintains a neat form. Deadheading is unnecessary due to its self-cleaning nature, but light trimming can be done to shape it if desired. In colder climates, treat this Cuphea as an annual. For container planting, ensure pots have good drainage and consider mulching to retain moisture during hot weather.

Totally Tempted® Vivid Violet™ Cuphea Spacing

Provide 12 to 18 inches of spacing between plants for mass plantings or borders to allow room for their spreading habit. For container planting, use pots that are at least 8 to 10 inches in diameter to accommodate healthy root growth and showcase its sprawling form.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
