About This Plant
Cuphea llavea 'FloriGlory Sofia' (Cigar Flower), 'FloriGlory Sofia', is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.
Cigar Plants and related Cupheas are tropical evergreens with tubular flowers (often red and orange) that attract hummingbirds. In PNW, treated as summer annuals or container plants.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil. Hardy USDA Zone 9 to 11. Frost-tender; treat as a summer annual or overwinter under glass. Heat-loving.
For a Pacific Northwest native plant of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray), or Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape) , all support native pollinators and birds.
