Do cuphea reseed? Or should I dig up some of the plants to overwinter (I'm in zone 9-maybe I don't have to do that?) Or do they just do one cycle? Never had them before and they did real well until the Hibiscus and zinnias took over their space. |

I've never had one. I believe yardgranny had a few varieties of that plant. She would know for sure. |

My neighbor and I have found that the Batface variety will reseed. The hybrid I had that was violet/purplish did reseed but did not come back the same. We had about 4 different varieties. I am curious to see if wome of them reseed. The last picture is the mother plant by the name of cha cha cuphea. Attachments:       |

WhenI purchased mine, it is like your first one, it was called "batface". I have looked it up, and in my area it is considered a perennial! Yay! It bloomed beautifully, until the hibiscus, plumbago and 3 ft. tall coleus took over its space. I'm going to dig some of it up and move it-and supposedly-it starts well from cuttings. We shall see! |
