Cuphea Allyson Lavender, commonly known as Mexican Heather or False Heather, is a charming, compact sub-shrub highly valued for its continuous display of delicate, lavender-purple flowers. This evergreen plant boasts fine, glossy, dark green foliage on a dense, mounding and semi-trailing growth habit, typically reaching a height of about one to two feet. It is a durable and low-maintenance choice, thriving in full sun to partial shade with good heat and drought tolerance once established.
Allyson Lavender blooms profusely from spring through fall, making it an excellent, long-season plant for borders, ground cover, hanging baskets, and containers, while also attracting beneficial pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds.
