Phygelius COLORBURST™ ‘Rose’
Common Name: Cape Fuchsia
Phygelius COLORBURST™ ‘Rose’ brings an incredible burst of color to the garden with masses of intense purple-rose flowers held above vigorous, lush foliage. Its eye-catching blooms create a dramatic accent in the landscape, adding rich color and vertical interest to sunny borders, containers, and mixed plantings.
An exceptionally long bloom season makes COLORBURST™ ‘Rose’ even more impressive. Beginning in late spring, it produces abundant flushes of flowers that continue from May through October, providing months of dependable garden color. Vigorous crowns and generous flower production give this plant the presence needed to serve as a beautiful thriller while its full habit also allows it to work wonderfully as a filler in larger combinations.
Unlike more aggressive forms of Phygelius, this improved cultivar does not spread, allowing it to maintain its place in the garden without wandering into neighboring plants. Growing well in full sun to part shade, COLORBURST™ ‘Rose’ is a versatile choice for gardeners looking for bold color, strong performance, and an exceptionally long season of interest.
