Colorburst™ Deep Red Cape Fuchsia is a bold performer designed to steal attention and keep it. Rich burgundy stems rise through lush green foliage, topped with cascading clusters of tubular flowers in intense, velvety red. A flash of yellow deep in the throat adds an unexpected highlight for anyone who takes a closer look, rewarding both gardeners and pollinators alike.
Blooming heavily from late spring well into fall, this cape fuchsia offers the kind of extended color that turns good gardens into memorable ones. The flowers resemble traditional fuchsias but are far more tolerant of sun and heat, making this plant especially versatile in bright borders. Its compact, mounded habit keeps it neat and intentional, even at peak bloom.
Reliable and easy to grow, Colorburst™ Deep Red Cape Fuchsia thrives in well-drained soil and handles summer warmth with confidence. Once established, it shows moderate drought tolerance and resists browsing from deer and rabbits. Whether planted in mixed beds or pollinator-focused designs, this cape fuchsia delivers season-long impact with minimal fuss.
