Phygelius capensis
Cape Fuchsia
Description
Phygelius capensis, also known as Cape fuchsia, is a showy perennial plant that produces long, tubular flowers in shades of red, orange, or yellow. These trumpet-shaped blooms attract hummingbirds, adding a touch of vibrant activity to the garden. The plant has dark green, attractive foliage and a somewhat shrubby growth habit. Phygelius capensis thrives in a sunny or partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Regular deadheading helps to promote continuous flowering, and the plant can benefit from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and vigor. Keep it watered during drier periods.
