Description

Phygelius × rectus 'Candy Drops Rose' is a delightful cultivar of Cape fuchsia that stands out for its compact growth and abundant blooms. This plant is particularly admired for its striking rose-pink tubular flowers, which dangle gracefully in clusters and feature slightly flared tips. The vibrant color and profusion of flowers create a stunning display from early summer through early autumn, making it an excellent choice for adding a splash of color to any garden setting. Its neat and bushy form allows it to fit seamlessly into small spaces, whether in borders, containers, or even on patios, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the area.

In addition to its visual appeal, 'Candy Drops Rose' is a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects with its nectar-rich blooms. This characteristic makes it a fantastic option for wildlife-friendly gardens, where fostering biodiversity is a priority. To ensure optimal flowering, the plant thrives in full sun and should be positioned in a sheltered spot. It prefers fertile, moist, yet well-drained soil, so care should be taken to avoid waterlogging during the winter months, which can be detrimental to its health.

In milder climates, 'Candy Drops Rose' is semi-evergreen, maintaining some foliage throughout the winter, while in colder regions, it may die back but will typically regrow in the spring. To protect the crown during the chillier months, applying mulch in autumn is advisable. Regular deadheading not only encourages prolonged blooming but also helps maintain a tidy appearance. This versatile plant is well-suited for mixed borders, cottage-style gardens, or even tropical-themed landscapes, making it a valuable addition to any garden enthusiast's collection.

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.
