Definition
A genus of tropical and subtropical flowering plants in the myrtle family, known for their small colorful flowers.
Etymology
From Greek 'kypheos' meaning 'curved' or 'hump-backed,' referring to the distinctive curved flower shape. The botanical name was formalized in the 18th century.
Kelly Says
Cuphea flowers are fire-engine red and attract hummingbirds like crazy—gardeners call them 'firecracker plants,' and they're basically hummingbird magnets you can grow in a pot!
