Cuphea ‘Hummingbird’s Lunch’ (Cigar Plant)
Cuphea ignea ‘Hummingbird’s Lunch’ bursts into nonstop bloom with fiery red-orange tubular flowers that are irresistible to hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. This sun-loving plant thrives in the heat, tolerates drought once established, and blooms continuously from spring until frost — nearly year-round in frost-free areas. With its tidy, rounded habit, it’s perfect for containers, borders, and garden beds where bright color and pollinator activity are always welcome. A low-maintenance favorite that feeds the pollinators naturally while adding vibrant energy to the landscape.

Why It’s a Creekside Champion™:
We love ‘Hummingbird’s Lunch’ for its long bloom season, pollinator appeal, and fuss-free performance that thrives even in hot, dry conditions.
