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.

Indoor Sowing

  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

LOUD, bouncy, and perfect for small dogs
My dog is a massive squeaky toy fan. She's also pretty aggressive with her squeaky toys and they usually don't last more than a month. This one is perfect for her - durable, noisy and bouncy. She loves it. The package comes with six but I only have her one and it's lasted nearly a month which is a record because none of her other silicone squeaky toys have lasted this long. It's perfect for her small mouth too. If you live in a flat with thin walls you might want to enforce a curfew with this toy or reserve it for outdoors because it is LOUD. Wear ear protection if you get migraines like me LMAO

Best squeaky toy for our 18 pound 'puppy.' Great for indoor or outdoor use and he hasn't punctured them yet!

Good quality, lotsa fun
Not easy to find a sturdy toy for a minipoodle that loves to play rough with his toy. He has not been able to break this into pieces and that feels reassuring that I don't have to worry about little pieces and choking. These things bounce funny and my boy loves playing with it

Necessary for a small dog.
These are great for a small dog! They can get their mouth around it unlike a round ball. My dog is obsessed with these. They are great for making him love a new guest to the house. All they have to do is squeak and throw the toy and they have a new friend!
