Phygelius moonraker , winchester fanfare

19 years ago

Hi , I have 3 varieties of phygelius that I grew in containers last summer . I love them on all levels .

I put my containers in an enclosed proch for the winter but it is unheated.

DO you think these beautiful plants will come back this year ?

I do not believe outside temps went below 0 this year .

I did loose all the foliage and when I placed them outside last week the bare wood stems seemed to be dead .

The root system seems to be integral though , but how can you tell the roots remain alive?

IF anyone can help me I would appreciate so very much .

Thanks

Laura

Hi,
You would have been better off to plant the phygelius in the ground, they probably would have made it, esp if they had some leaves on top for added protection. I have three different ones (straight species and 2 cvs) that came though last winter fine. They died back to the base but are sprouting vigorously right now. We got to 2 degrees F this winter, a cold one, but did have some snow cover, which helps. Also they probably would not be happy if they dried out totally during the winter. Try watering them and see what happens, otherwise try again in the ground and you may have more success.
Best,
Ernie
