Cuphea - Honeybells

Warm, cheerful, and wonderfully inviting to hummingbirds, Cuphea ‘Honeybells’ brings clusters of tubular blooms in glowing shades of orange, yellow, and red to sunny garden spaces. This colorful cigar plant is loved for its long flowering season, fine-textured foliage, and easygoing presence in borders, containers, pollinator gardens, and wildlife-friendly plantings. Bright without feeling overwhelming, it adds steady color, movement, and charm wherever warm-season flowers are welcome.

Growing into a compact, bushy plant, Cuphea ‘Honeybells’ works beautifully as a container accent, edging plant, low border, or lively filler among sun-loving perennials and drought-tolerant garden favorites. Its honey-toned flowers pair wonderfully with purple salvias, blue verbenas, lantanas, yarrow, gaura, ornamental grasses, lavender, and silver foliage, creating a layered, pollinator-friendly garden display with plenty of contrast and warmth. Hummingbirds especially adore the blooms, while bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects add even more life to the planting.

Plant Cuphea ‘Honeybells’ in full sun to part sun with well-drained soil and moderate water while it settles in. Once established, this low-maintenance perennial shrub handles warm weather beautifully and keeps blooming with very little fuss. Colorful, durable, and full of wildlife appeal, it is a beautiful choice for adding long-lasting color to sunny spaces. Explore more hummingbird favorites in our Cuphea - Cigar Plants collection.
