The 'Starfire Pink' cuphea's blooms are rosy red tubes tipped by contrasting purple and some white. The petal lobes are star shaped. Some of the lance shaped leaves have bronzish-purple tones (as shown in the photo) and more turn this color in cool weather. Hummingbirds love it. (San Antonio, Tx.)

My 'Starfire Pink' Cigar Plant, Cigar Bush (Cuphea) bloom are a lighter color in the summer than they are in cooler weather ... shown side-lit by the sun making the center glow pink.
