Phygelius 'Funfare series'

I've got one very similar, Suzy. They look amazing on the insides, don't they? :)

they do Karen... delicate looking I think

I nearly bought an orange one of these today but really, it would soon be too big for my garden.

I don't think it grows that big Karen, it says on the label 32" high and 32" spread, but I guess if you've already got an established garden finding space for new plants is probably more difficult. If it gets too big I'll just dig up some more grass :)

Sorry Suzy, didn't mean to scare you. I saw one last week in someone's garden, it was stunning, about 3' across and maybe 2 1/2 tall. It was covered with flowers. You're right, not a huge plant but I don't really 'do' big perennials because I need to have all year around colour and they leave big holes if you know what I mean! :D

I might well feel the same in a year or 2 Karen, but as its my first year of gardening I'm happy to see some colour lol!

yes, agreed. It is a lovely plant...honestly, the one I saw the other day really caught my eye. It was a yellow one...and the only plant growing in the garden except for a tree.

Its supposed to be evergreen in mild areas, so I'm hoping its mild enough down here.. we'll see!
