I needed a place to put all my gardening notes. Thought it would be fun for other people to see my input on various items of interest. I'm particularly fond of roses, fragrants, and flowering vines. Hope you enjoy.

Have a cigar
This is a neat little plant that I bought because of its attractiveness to hummingbirds. The little red flowers resemble cigars - hence the name. It likes hot, humid areas and should come back from the roots in zones 8 and higher. I haven't decided yet where I want to put it in my yard, so it sits in a pot.

Never heard of it, but who doesn't like a plant that attracts hummers?! Thanks for sharing!
yep they do love a cuphea. I have a bat face place that is in the cuphea family. They love it. It should be blooming any day now. It is a very unique plant.
when I read the title of the article I thought it is about a tobacco plant but now i see it is different. I do not know about this plant but nice information thanks
