Mexican Heather (Cuphea hyssopifolia)

Mexican Heather is a compact, fine-textured subshrub that bears masses of small lavender to purple flowers from spring to frost. Glossy, heather-like foliage and a naturally mounded habit make it a reliable accent for borders, containers, and warm-climate beds.

Distinctive Features

Prolific, self-cleaning blooms attract pollinators without deadheading, while tiny leaves and dense branching keep a tidy outline in summer heat.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade in very hot climates.
  • Soil: Well drained, moderately fertile soil or high-quality potting mix.
  • Water: Keep evenly moist to establish; moderate water thereafter with brief drought tolerance.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 9 to 11 outdoors; grow as an annual elsewhere.
  • Mature Size: Typically 1 to 2 ft tall and 1 to 2 ft wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Continuous bloom and fine texture anchor small-space plantings.
  • Edging: Low, uniform mounds define paths and bed lines.
  • Containers: Season-long color on patios and porches with regular care.
  • Pollinator Gardens: Nectar-rich flowers support hummingbirds and bees.
  • Groundcover: Close spacing forms a soft, flowering carpet in warm zones.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water deeply, then allow the top inch of soil to dry before the next cycle.
  • Pruning: Shear or pinch lightly once or twice in summer to refresh shape and encourage more bloom.
  • Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced, dilute fertilizer.
  • Mulching: Apply a 1 to 2 inch mulch layer to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Notes: Protect from frost and ensure sharp drainage to prevent root stress in wet periods.

Why Choose Mexican Heather?

  • Long Bloom Season: Flowers steadily from planting to frost.
  • Heat Ready: Maintains color and form in summer conditions.
  • Compact Habit: Fits containers and small borders without overgrowing.
  • Pollinator Friendly: Attracts hummingbirds and beneficial insects.
  • Low Effort: Minimal grooming needed for continuous display.

Plant in a sunny, well drained spot, water regularly during heat, and give a light midsummer trim to keep plants dense and flowering.

Surprisingly Sturdy for Disposable Plates!
Color: 9 in 500 White
These plates were purchased as a replacement for the value pack of 500 paper disposable plates. What an amazing difference! I try to avoid unnecessary use of disposable plastic. These COMPOSTABLE plates are thinner than typical cardboard plates and don't absorb the moisture right out of the food! As for durability, these plates rival the name brand heavy duty plastic plates, and they are far better than Styrofoam.

Great plates
Color: 10 in 500 White
Was sick of buying 50 plates at a time from the grocery store all the time. These are durable, not thin or flimsy like most. Even moist food wont leak through. Good stuff
