Phygelius Colorburst ‘Deep Red’
Phygelius Colorburst 'Deep Red' is a long-blooming cape fuchsia, with red flowers, yellow throats and purple stems.
Early blooming, Phygelius Colorburst ‘Deep Red’, commonly known as Cape Fuchsia, is a definite eye-catcher with its purple sepals, striking deep red flowers and yellow throats. A fantastic upright and mounding growth habit of 20 to 30 inches tall and 28 inches wide sees the burgundy flowering stems rise above its green foliage smothered with tubular, dangling flowers from spring until fall! Fast growing too. Use in the perennial border or amongst shrubs. Best in full sun with well-drained soil. Attracts hummingbirds. Deer resistant.
