Description

Phygelius × rectus 'Candy Drops Cream' is a delightful and compact variety of Cape fuchsia that stands out for its charming pale cream flowers and extended blooming period. This cultivar is particularly well-suited for a variety of settings, including garden borders, patio containers, and wildlife-friendly landscapes. Its soft, exotic appearance brings a touch of elegance to sunny areas, while its flowers serve as a magnet for pollinators, making it a wonderful addition to any garden that aims to support local wildlife.

The plant produces lovely tubular flowers that hang gracefully, showcasing a delicate cream hue with a subtle apricot-pink blush at the throat. These blooms typically emerge in early summer and can last well into autumn, often persisting until the first frosts arrive. With its compact growth habit and upright stems, 'Candy Drops Cream' is perfect for smaller gardens or as a vibrant feature in patio pots, allowing gardeners with limited space to enjoy its beauty without compromise.

To ensure optimal growth and flowering, this cultivar thrives in full sun and prefers a sheltered position, which helps maximize its prolific blooming potential. It flourishes in fertile, well-drained soil and is sensitive to waterlogged conditions during winter. In milder climates, it may retain some foliage throughout the winter, while in colder regions, it may die back to the base. To protect the roots during the colder months, especially in frost-prone areas, a layer of mulch in autumn is recommended. Regular deadheading not only enhances the plant's appearance but also encourages a longer flowering season, making it an excellent choice for mixed borders, wildlife gardens, or exotic-themed planting schemes. Height: 45 cm (18 in) Spread: 45 cm (18 in)

How to Grow
Grow Cape Fuchsias in patio containers or borders, in any moist, well drained soil. Position in a sunny or semi shaded site which is protected from cold winds over winter. Container-grown plants can be moved to a frost free position over winter. Border-grown Phygelius will benefit from winter protection such as an autumn mulch of chipped bark or leaf mould.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Feed and water regularly until plants are fully established. Cut back old stems at the base of the plant in spring to promote the development of new growth. In very mild areas where the stems are not damaged by cold winters, Phygelius may be grown as a semi-evergreen shrub, requiring only light pruning of the stems in spring to improve the shape of the plant.
