Sugarbells Cigar Plant Cuphea

Sugarbells Cigar Plant (Cuphea ignea 'Sugarbells') is a delightful twist on the classic "Cigar Plant," prized for its incredibly high flower count and compact, mounding habit. While traditional varieties can become leggy, 'Sugarbells' stays dense and covered in hundreds of tiny, tubular bicolored flowers. Each bloom features a vivid orange-red tube with a dark ring and a white "sugar-tipped" end, mimicking the look of a glowing cigar ash.

As a nectar-rich member of the Cuphea genus, 'Sugarbells' is widely considered one of the best hummingbird plants on the market. The tiny birds are drawn to the abundance of tubular flowers from miles away. It is exceptionally heat-tolerant and thrives in the "dog days" of summer when other plants might wilt. Why you’ll love it: Ultimate hummingbird magnet, heat and humidity tolerant, and a tidy mounding habit that looks great in hanging baskets or patio containers.

This healthy 4"" live flowering plant thrives in full sun to light shade and requires regular watering to keep the blooms coming all season.
