Cuphea Sweet Talk Lavender Splash

Adding a burst of vibrant colour to your garden, Cuphea Sweet Talk Lavender Splash is a dazzling, heat-loving bloomer that keeps the show going for most of the warmer months. This compact, mounded beauty is covered in eye-catching lavender-purple flowers accented with deep magenta centres creating a bold, two-tone “splash” effect that stands out in beds, borders, and containers.

Bred for exceptional performance, the Cuphea Sweet Talk™ series thrives in full sun and handles heat and humidity with ease, making them perfect for long summer days. With a tidy growth habit that requires minimal maintenance while delivering continuous waves of nectar-rich blooms that attract butterflies and other pollinators, these plants are an easy choice for busy gardeners who still want high-impact colour all season long.

Cuphea prefers a sunny to partly shaded position in well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and copes well with light frost. Regular pruning encourages a compact shape and more prolific flowering. This plant is ideal for edging, low hedges, or mass plantings, and attracts bees and butterflies to the garden.
