This little cuphea used to be commonly found at the nurseries here in the spring and used in hanging baskets but has not been available for several years now. I grew one alone in a pot one year and found that the hummingbirds were crazy for it.

The variety I seek is not to be found available online except possibly in a mix. (too much trial and error) Many will not ship to Canada. The one I want is small flowered, bright yellow/orange. An old fashioned variety. The small flowered bright purple I see online now would be ok too.

Thought I'd give it a shot and ask here.
