Phygelius COLORBURST™ ‘Yellow’
Common Name: Cape Fuchsia
Phygelius COLORBURST™ ‘Yellow’ brings a cheerful glow to the garden with an abundance of soft yellow flowers beautifully complemented by rich, pine-green foliage. The delicate-looking blooms rise above the lush plant, creating a striking combination of color and texture that brightens borders, containers, and mixed perennial plantings.
Native to South Africa, this garden beauty offers an impressive season of color beginning in late spring and continuing well into fall. From May through October, COLORBURST™ ‘Yellow’ produces repeated flushes of flowers, providing months of interest in the landscape. Growing approximately 20 inches tall and spreading to 28 inches wide, with flowers reaching up to 30 inches, it has enough presence to make an impact without overwhelming surrounding plants.
