Colorburst™ 'Deep Red' Cape Fuchsia (Phygelius)

(Cape Fuchsia) Phygelius Colorburst™ Deep Red, also known as Cape Fuchsia, is a vibrant, compact perennial that adds bold color and hummingbird appeal to the garden. Its tubular, deep red flowers bloom profusely from late spring through fall, creating a striking display against rich green foliage. The flowers resemble fuchsia but are more sun-tolerant, making this variety a standout in sunny borders. Hardy in USDA zones 7–10, Colorburst™ Deep Red thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil.

This variety is moderately drought tolerant once established and generally resistant to deer and rabbits, providing lasting color without constant maintenance. The vibrant tubular blooms are highly attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators, making it a great addition to wildlife or pollinator-friendly gardens. With its long bloom time, rich color, and tidy habit, Phygelius Colorburst™ Deep Red is a perfect choice for gardeners seeking continuous interest, attracting pollinators and reliable performance in a semi compact form.
