Cuphea Golden Ruby

Common Name: Golden Ruby, False Heather

Availabilty: In Stock

Cuphea Golden Ruby, also known as False Heather, is a very pretty layered evergreen covered with small rosy-purple flowers throughout much of the year. This little standout has foliage with a golden wash of colour transitioning to a slight red in the cool months, while the purple-toned flowers attract butterflies! Growing approximately 450 mm tall and 450 mm wide, this little beauty is perfect as an edging plant, for mixed beds, mass planting, rockeries, low hedges, or tub planting. Use to beautiful effect in layering your garden, or it is also ideal for growth in containers as it can be trimmed to the desired shape.

We recommend light pruning required to keep a compact form. Perfect addition for cottage or traditional gardens.

Very low maintenance. Moderately wind tolerant, mildly frost tolerant.  Most well drained, moist soils.  Full sun preferred, adapts to part shade.
