Phygelius Tye Dye® ‘Radiant Red’


Hybrid Cape Fuchsia

USDA Zone: 6-9

Plant number: 1.419.060


Cape Fuchsia are native to South Africa, but surprisingly hardy perennials. Plants make a bushy, upright mound of green foliage, bearing showy clusters of fuchsia-like firecracker flowers beginning in mid-summer and continuing into the fall. This selection from the Tye Dye® series features masses of dark, rosey-red, trumpet flowers with a yellow throat. These adapt well to containers, and in cold winter areas may be wintered indoors. Plants form a woody base and should be pruned back to 6 inches or so each spring. Great for cutting. Attractive to hummingbirds. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
