🌿 Phygelius £8 (ready to plant out now)
A native of South Africa, Cape Fuchsias as they are also known are tough, hardy, long-lived and evergreen perennial sub-shrubs.
Cherry Ripe is a superior form of Phygelius with compact bushy growth and masses of flowers.
It will excel in a garden border or container and flower from early Summer in to Autumn. Thriving in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil it is ideal for use in a mixed border, where you can really appreciate why it received the name Cape Fuchsia.
All summer long this variety carries tall spikes of narrow deep-red trumpets with a yellow throat above dark green foliage, up to 70cms tall.
