Product Description

Phygelius × rectus 'Candy Drops Red' is a striking cultivar of Cape fuchsia that captivates with its vibrant, tubular crimson-red flowers, each adorned with a deeper throat that adds a touch of elegance. This compact plant is perfect for enhancing borders and containers, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to infuse their summer displays with lively color and attract local wildlife. Its long blooming season, which stretches from early summer well into autumn?often persisting until the first frost?ensures that your garden remains a focal point of interest throughout the warmer months.The bushy, compact growth habit of 'Candy Drops Red' makes it particularly suitable for smaller gardens, pots, or as a charming front-of-border plant. Its nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for pollinators, including bees and butterflies, contributing to a vibrant ecosystem in your garden. To achieve optimal growth, this cultivar thrives in full sun and prefers a sheltered, warm position. It flourishes best in moist, well-drained, fertile soil, so it?s essential to avoid waterlogged conditions during the winter months to ensure the plant's health.In milder regions, 'Candy Drops Red' may exhibit semi-evergreen characteristics, while in colder climates, it might die back to the base during winter. To protect the roots and support successful overwintering, applying a layer of mulch in autumn is advisable. Regular deadheading of spent blooms not only encourages further flowering but also helps maintain a tidy appearance. This cultivar is an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens, mixed borders, or those aiming for an exotic aesthetic, making it a versatile addition to any garden landscape.
