Phygelius rectus ‘Pink Elf’

Phygelius

Cape Fuchsia

Birds simply love the lazy clusters of long, nodding, tubular flowers that cover Phygelius all summer long. Gardeners, too, will love this fast growing subshrub from South Africa, because no matter what the cultivar, the Cape Fuchsia adds a luscious, colorful look to any garden. Members of the Snapdragon family, Phygelius grow in well-drained soil, and their handsome, glossy, deep green foliage remains evergreen in milder climates.

<em>Phygelius</em>  x <i>rectus</i> ‘Pink Elf’

Impish ‘Pink Elf’ promises densely clustered salmon-pink flowers embellished with warm yellow throats. Distinctive for its compact growth habit and its ability to slowly spread by underground stems, this Phygelius looks enticing next to the silvery foliage of Kniphofia ‘Malibu Yellow’.

Blooms June?October.

Size: 2' 0" high x 3' 0" wide.

Hardy to zone 7.
