Orchid-violet blooms with deeper ink-violet edges over fresh green foliage.
Totally Tempted® Vivid Violet™ is a cuphea that blooms from spring through fall, producing continuous, pollinator-friendly flowers with layered violet tones that add depth and richness to containers and garden beds.
What You'll Use It For
A saturated violet filler that adds depth without going dark.
- Filling containers with rich purple tones that still feel bright
- Attracting hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies to garden beds
- Pairing with pinks, whites, and greens for balanced combinations
- Adding depth to softer plantings without overpowering them
- Mass planting for a cohesive violet color block
Why Lazy Leaf Loves It
This one brings more intensity than softer violets without becoming heavy. The orchid-violet base keeps it vibrant, while the deeper edges give each bloom dimension so it doesn't read flat.
As part of the Totally Tempted® series, it's bred for heat tolerance and continuous blooming, so it keeps producing flowers without deadheading and performs reliably through long summer stretches. It's also a strong pollinator plant, bringing steady activity to containers and garden beds.
