Floriglory Selena Mexican Heather | Cuphea hyssopifolia ‘Floriglory Selena’ | False Heather

Floriglory Selena Mexican Heather is a compact, heat‑loving subshrub (grown as an annual in cooler climates) prized for its profusion of bright magenta‑pink blooms that continuously blanket its finely textured, glossy green foliage. This exceptional selection from the Floriglory series is known for its highly branched, mounding habit, superior flower size, and nonstop flowering from spring until frost. Its nectar‑rich blossoms draw butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it a standout choice for pollinator gardens, containers, edging, and sunny landscape beds. With its tidy form and reliable performance in hot, humid conditions, Floriglory Selena offers striking texture and color with minimal maintenance.

Growing Floriglory Selena Mexican Heather
