Cuphea 'David Verity' is an essential hummingbird plant, unbeatable as a summer blooming companion to salvias, both the epicenter of hummingbird activity. Ablaze with scarlet red, the abundant tubular flowers are arrayed along branching stems clothed in lustrous green leaves. Hailing from Mexico, it loves a warm sheltered place and well-drained soil, where it keeps the party going well into fall.
