Phygelius COLORBURST™ ‘Deep Red’
Common Name: Cape Fuchsia
Phygelius COLORBURST™ ‘Deep Red’ brings rich, dramatic color to the garden with a combination that demands attention. Burgundy flower stalks and purple sepals set the stage for stunning deep red, tubular blooms, while unexpected yellow throats add a brilliant touch of contrast when viewed up close. The result is a layered display of color that adds depth and excitement to sunny garden spaces.
Blooming from late spring well into fall, COLORBURST™ ‘Deep Red’ provides an impressively long season of interest. Flowers appear from May through October, creating months of vibrant color in perennial beds, mixed borders, and containers. Reaching approximately 20 inches tall and 28 inches wide, with flower stalks extending to 30 inches, it has a substantial presence while remaining easy to incorporate into a variety of garden designs.
COLORBURST™ ‘Deep Red’ performs in full sun to part shade and is winter hardy in zones 7–10 when provided with good drainage. Its rich combination of burgundy, purple, deep red, and yellow makes it especially striking when paired with contrasting foliage or softer-colored flowering plants.
