Cuphea hyssopifolia | ‘White Whispers’ Mexican Heather
Cuphea hyssopifolia ‘White Whispers’ is a compact, evergreen shrub celebrated for its delicate, pure white flowers and fine-textured green foliage. Blooming nearly year-round in mild climates, it adds a soft, airy touch to garden beds, borders, and containers. This variety is heat-tolerant, low-maintenance, and an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly landscapes.
