Next year I will grow more ( especially the yellow and white forms), but I know that I should order early, since most of the nicer varieties sold out by February.

When grown in full sun, they provide a tropical look with their long, tubular blossoms which come in many shades of pink and purple, and a very nice yellow. Like many tropical summer bedding plants, Phygelius really shine in late summer, as the summer heat warms the soil, and when the Dahlia and Canna peak. Their warm, fruity colors should blend well with other temporary tropicals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/DSC1012.jpg?resize=400%2C265&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"400\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;I ordered plants in the spring from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigdipperfarm.com\/cgi-bin\/searchstuff.pl?Botanical=Phygelius\">Big Dipper Farm<\/a>, and they arrived in a few weeks.
