0PI 619108'Starfire'Cuphea hybr.Arizona, United StatesNC7FLOWER1990DEVELOPED04/1986CultivarIntermediate in size to its two parents, 50 to 75 cm tall and 60 to 75 cm wide, with the spreading subshrub shape of the C. ignea parent. Leaves are dark green with a light-green lower surface as in the C. ignea parent, but are more narrowly lanceolate, 30 to 40 mm long and 12 to 20 mm wide. Flowers continuously once cuttings are established. Calyx tubes are striped pink on white, dorsally tipped in white, and 10 to 15 mm long, with a pronounced spur. Dorsal petals are white with a purple vein, ~5 mm long. Ventral petals are purple to almost white and are ~3 mm long. Less dense, but more vigorous, growth habit than its C. ignea parent. Particularly adapted as a potted plant and possibly would be useful as a hanging plant for greenhouse or household use. May have potential as a bedding plant but has not been evaluated for this purpose. Sterile hybrid, must be propagated vegetatively. Cuttings root readily with no chemical treatment of any kind when placed in potting soil and kept for 1 week to 10 days under intermittent mist at 20 to 25 C. Cuttings grow rapidly, reaching full growth and flower within 4 to 5 weeks when grown in greenhouse (20 to 25 C, ambient relative humidity 50% to 96%, and a 16-h light period with high-intensity, metal-vapor lights).1484040PI 619108
