Phygelius ‘Festive Orange
Cape Fuchsia |
USDA Zone: 6-9 |
Plant number: 1.419.110
Cape Fuchsia are native to South Africa, but surprisingly hardy perennials. Plants make a bushy, upright mound of green foliage, bearing showy clusters of long, tubular flowers beginning in spring. This selection has orange flowers and is one of the colours available in the Pheeges™ Series. These adapt well to containers, and in cold winter areas may be wintered indoors. Plants form a woody base and should be pruned back to 6 inches or so each spring. Great for cutting. Attractive to hummingbirds.
