Totally Tempted® Richly Red™ Cuphea | Proven Winners®

Brick red petals with a deep violet center over fresh green foliage.

Totally Tempted® Richly Red™ is a cuphea that blooms from spring through fall, producing continuous, pollinator-friendly flowers that add rich color and contrast to containers and garden beds.

What You'll Use It For

A deeper red filler that adds contrast without going overly bright.

• Filling containers with rich red blooms that don't feel harsh or neon
• Attracting hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies to garden beds
• Pairing with golds, pinks, or greens for warm, balanced combinations
• Adding depth to mixed plantings with darker-toned flowers
• Mass planting for a saturated, cohesive color block

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This is a more grounded take on red. The brick-red petals keep it warm and natural, while the deep violet center adds contrast so each bloom has definition up close.

As part of the Totally Tempted® series, it's bred for heat tolerance and continuous blooming, so it keeps producing flowers without deadheading and holds up through long summer stretches. It's also a reliable pollinator plant, bringing constant activity and movement to containers and garden beds.
