Maintenance Notes: 

Cuphea is a heat lover and that grows in both arid and humid climates. Always keep this plant in full sun for best flowering and to prevent it from stretching in the shade.

Keep the soil moist throughout the growing season. Regular feeding will keep it full and constantly flowering. Once established, it does not require a lot of water.

This plant is a perennial in USDA zones 9a and higher, but should be considered an annual in colder climates. If you are in a marginally hardy area, an application of light mulch (like pine needles) about 6 inches deep and a foot wide may help the plant survive the winter. When the threat of frost has passed, remove the layer of mulch. The plant should not be cut back in the winter.  If it has dead plant material or is leggy in spring, you can trim it back once new growth begins.
