Cape Fuchsia
Phygelius Capensis
Overview
Cape Fuchsia (Phygelius capensis), a perennial shrub, vibrant and hardy, adds a splash to gardens with trumpet-shaped flowers in reds and pinks. Thriving in USDA zones 7-10, it reaches about 3-4 feet in height and spread, preferring full sun to partial shade. Its long blooming season, from early summer to fall, invites hummingbirds. Requires well-draining soil and moderate watering. Cut back in late winter for vigorous spring growth.
