I would appreciate any information about the care of Mexican Heather. I have one plant and plan on purchasing more since they have wonderful small blue flowers. Also, we have two Lily of the Nile plants. They have blossomed out nicely with beautiful lavender flowers, but now one of the tall stalks no longer has any buds and no indication of growing any more. To worry or not to worry...that is the question!

Cuphea hyssopifolia.
do not buy more... cuttings root VERY easily.
If anything buy different colors. I have a dark purple, lght purple, and a white.

its care is simple, it likes it hot humid and sunny.

Lily of the Nile is most like Agapanthus.

Here is information on Agapanthus: http://plantsdatabase.com/search.php?forum=&search_text=Agapanthus

And here's some information on Cuphea hyssopifolia: http://plantsdatabase.com/go/676/
