@jeatacake I suspect it is but I bought it like this and there was no other info aside from ‘cuphea’ 😂

Yes, I just looked at their write-up & they're supposedly only hardy down to 0C 🤔

We have every kind of climate there is here in the U.S. in my particular area we do get plenty of freezing temps through our winter, this cupea doesn't survive outside thru my winter 💘😍

Oh! If you ever see the one that looks like a tiny orangish red cigar complete with an Ash on the end (amazingly it's called the cigar plant!😂😂) You must get that one! It's way cool!!💘😍

@gjones it’s certainly improved in the greenhouse. Didn’t appreciate the drop in temperature at all ❄️

@gjones thank you 😊 reminded me of a heather/hebe cross so thought it’d be a nice addition to the garden/greenhouse. Didn’t realise it was a little on the tender side 🙈
