COLORBURST 'Orange' Cape Fuchsia

COLORBURST™ ‘Orange’ is a Terra Nova Cape fuchsia selection with red-orange flowers. The breeder identifies it as Phygelius × rectus COLORBURST™ ‘Orange’ (‘TNPHYCO’), PP31102, EU61727, and lists bloom from May through October. The [official plant page](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/phygelius-colorburst-orange/) specifies USDA Zones 7–10, full sun to part shade, and foliage height, foliage width, and flowering height separately. ## Appearance and placement This perennial has green foliage and a mounding, upright habit. Terra Nova lists foliage height of 20 inches, width of 28 inches, and flowering height of 30 inches. Its red-orange tubular flowers make it suitable for a border or mixed container, where the breeder describes it as both a filler and a thriller. Hummingbirds and other pollinators visit the flowers. ## Growing conditions Plant in average, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Keep evenly watered while establishing, then allow established plants to tolerate drier periods. The breeder notes that good drainage is useful and rates this selection for USDA Zones 7–10. Local winter conditions can affect whether stems persist or die back. ## Maintenance Deadhead faded flowers to encourage continued bloom. In areas with hard winters, leave stems until spring to protect the crown, then cut back as new growth begins. This COLORBURST selection is described as non-spreading; general Phygelius species may behave differently.
