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

  7. Plant spacing: approx. 25 cm

Loves it!
Color: Blue
This was a hit with my 9 month old puppy! He loves it! It's not his favorite toy but its not his least favorite either! I did have to retie the knots after he worked them out and that was difficult but doable!

my puppy's favorite!
Color: Pink
I recently bought this chew toy for my puppy, and it has been a fantastic addition to his toy collection! Durability: This toy is impressively durable. My puppy loves to chew, and it has held up really well against his enthusiastic gnawing. Design: The design is great! It’s the perfect size for my puppy to carry around, and the colors are vibrant and fun. He loves playing with it! Engagement: It keeps him entertained for hours. The texture seems to satisfy his chewing instincts, and it also helps with teething discomfort. Safety: I feel good knowing that it’s made from non-toxic materials. I’ve had no issues with pieces breaking off or causing any problems. Overall, I highly recommend this chew toy for any puppy owner. It’s durable, and engaging, and my puppy absolutely loves it!

Excellent toy for smaller breed puppies
Color: Blue
My 10 week old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy is obsessed with this toy. It is great for teething, tug, fetch. Pup can’t get enough of it and it is small enough for his mouth to play pretty aggressively and carry, soft enough for his teeth and a nice length of rope. It IS less tough than other Kong brand toys so I imagine it probably isn’t a great option for bigger or tougher breed puppies. But it’s a rare and wonderful find for the smaller breeds. After realizing how enamored my pup is with it, I ordered more of them.

perfect for tiny breeds!
Color: Blue
this toy is the perfect size for my mini dauchshund mix puppy. I looked in several pet stores for a tug of war rope for something for my little two pound pup that wasn't my socks for him to tug on. so many rope toys are aimed for large breeds, and were larger than my dog himself
