These sun-loving shrubs and perennials provide months of continuous flowering, making them a valuable addition to New Zealand gardens. Cuphea flowers are not only visually striking but also rich in nectar, drawing in beneficial insects and native birds such as tui and bellbirds. Many gardeners appreciate cupheas for their drought resistance and minimal maintenance needs once established.
