Phygelius × rectus 'Devil's Tears' is an evergreen shrub often grown as a tender perennial where not hardy. Long spikes of red, dangling, bell‑shaped flowers with yellow throats appear in summer. Beautiful, unique addition to perennial or shrub borders.
Full sun; fertile, moist but well‑drained soil. Can be grown as tender perennial where not hardy. Mulch with dry material in winter; cut back nearly to ground in spring.
Start seeds in cold frame in spring; softwood cuttings in late spring. Problems: weevils, capsid bugs.
