Although a perennial, Nierembergia hippomanica violacea is a tender and
usually treated as an annual. Its fine green foliage forms neat mounds,
which become covered with small pale lavender flowers with yellow
throats from early summer to early fall. 'Mont Blanc' is smothered with
glistening white flowers; 'Purple Robe' has deep violet flowers.
Cupflower looks most effective as edging to beds and borders, and it may
be used in containers and hanging baskets.
