Flower Cuphea Ignea seeds wanted

GrowingCoastal · January 17, 2018

This little cuphea used to be commonly found at the nurseries here in the spring and used in hanging baskets but has not been available for several years now. I grew one alone in a pot one year and found that the hummingbirds were crazy for it.

The variety I seek is not to be found available online except possibly in a mix. (too much trial and error) Many will not ship to Canada. The one I want is small flowered, bright yellow/orange. An old fashioned variety. The small flowered bright purple I see online now would be ok too.

Thought I'd give it a shot and ask here.
