White False Heather
Cuphea hyssopifolia ‘Alba’, Mexican Heather, Hawaiian Heather
White Mexican Heather is a delicate, fine-textured evergreen shrub prized for its profuse, pure white, star-shaped flowers and lush, bright green foliage. This elegant, compact cultivar of the popular Mexican Heather produces masses of tiny, white blooms from spring through fall, and often year-round in frost-free climates, creating a soft, airy, snow-like effect . The small, glossy, lance-shaped leaves are densely packed on red-brown stems, giving the plant a fine, heather-like texture . Exceptionally heat and humidity tolerant, low-maintenance, and self-cleaning, it is an outstanding choice for adding a cool, calm, and long-lasting accent to ground covers, borders, containers, and pollinator gardens.
