COLORBURST 'Rose' Cape Fuchsia

COLORBURST 'Rose' Cape Fuchsia is a deciduous Phygelius × rectus perennial with purple-rose and red trumpet flowers. Terra Nova lists flowers from May through October and an upright, mounding profile about 20 inches tall and 28 inches wide, with flowering stems reaching 30 inches. ## Garden use The rose-toned selection brings extended color to mixed borders, cottage gardens, banks, or containers. Its moderate footprint suits sunny or partly shaded sites where the arching flower stems can be seen. The breeder describes this selection as improved for a non-spreading habit; retain ordinary spacing for the listed mature width. ## Growing conditions Plant in average, well-drained soil in full sun or part shade. Water regularly while establishing, then provide average moisture; Terra Nova notes that established plants tolerate drought. The breeder lists USDA zones 7–10 and winter dormancy, so local winter protection may be appropriate near the edge of that range. See the [Terra Nova COLORBURST 'Rose' plant profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/phygelius-colorburst-rose/) for its cultivar, bloom, size, and exposure details. ## Maintenance Remove spent flower stems as needed to keep the border tidy and encourage a neat appearance. Check soil moisture during extended dry weather, especially for newly planted specimens, and cut back dead growth after winter.
