Cuphea lanceolata ‘Purple Passion’ | Bat-faced Cuphea

Cuphea ‘Purple Passion’ is a fascinating annual with unusual, eye-catching flowers in rich velvety purple tones. The blooms are especially distinctive, featuring two enlarged upper petals resembling tiny mouse ears and four smaller petals below, giving the plant its charming nickname Bat-faced Cuphea.

This unique plant adds texture and interest to mixed borders and cottage gardens. The stems initially grow upright and later become slightly arching, weaving gracefully through neighboring plants. The foliage is slightly sticky, and the plant produces flowers continuously from mid-summer until autumn, often blooming well into October.

With its long flowering season and decorative stems, Cuphea ‘Purple Passion’ is also suitable for cut flowers and creates a striking addition to summer bouquets.

Sowing Instructions

Indoor Sowing

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost.

  4. Germination usually occurs in 8–10 days.
  5. Transplant seedlings into 8 cm pots once large enough to handle.
  6. Harden off plants and transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
  7. Plant spacing: approx. 25 cm

Love the style- sizing is a bit tricky online
Mini Melissa shoes always deliver on cuteness (and comfort). That said, each pair seems to be slightly different in terms of sizing! We ordered a size 2 and found that it was a little bigger than a recent size 2 we'd ordered. Still worth it, just a heads up that this might be a better purchase in person when you can try on!

Adorable!
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Black
These little shoes are absolutely adorable! I got my 2 year old daughter the black sparkly ones. I originally ordered a size 6, but had to return & swap for a size 7. Not sure if this shoe runs a little small or if my daughter’s foot is just a little big. They are a soft rubber & they smell amazing (I know that sounds weird but when you receive them you will see what I’m talking about lol). They seem like very good quality & like they will last awhile, especially on a 2 year old who is hard on shoes!
