Vermillionaire is a type of Cuphea which has about 47 different common names.
This beauty is our number one pick for our lovely hummingbirds. They will fight over the feeding rights all day long in our greenhouses.
This annual blooms nonstop throughout the growing season and transitions well into a Fall color scheme.
It can be a rather thirsty plant once it grows large but is forgiving if you forget to water it before your hummingbirds get mad at you. They can be quite the feisty little birds.
Bee sure to plant this in full sun for the most blooms.
It’s hard work for the plant to show off its beauty, so do not forget to feed it with some good fertilizer.
Take good care of Vermillionaire and It will thank you with many flowers and plenty of food for those hummers!
