Phygelius.

Wonderfully exotic in appeal, Cape fuchsias are a resounding success in patio pots as well as the perennial border.

Their colourful bells dangle loosely around a central stem and fan out like old-fashioned chair-o-planes. This floral jamboree continues right through the summer and often into the autumn, returning each year with ever-increasing beauty. The evergreen plants spread by setting suckers, giving you many new plants for free.

Very easy to look after and drought resistant.

Height: 24-36 inches.

Please note that no fuchsia fertiliser is included with packs of pyhgelius.
