Phygelius Colorburst ‘Rose’

Phygelius Colorburst 'Deep Red' is a cape fuchsia with long-blooming red flowers, yellow throats and purple stems.

Early blooming, this Phygelius Colorburst ‘Rose’, commonly known as cape fuchsia, is a definite eye-catcher with its intense purple-rose flowers. 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.
