Anyone got any idea what this is?  I thought fuchsia, others thought penstemon, but not like any I have seen before.

    Might be F. loxensis.

    Phygellius. Devil's tears. It can be invasive if it's comfortable.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I would say they look more like Cape Fuchsia, Phygelius.

    It looks as if it is Phygelius "Devils Teas" @chicky. I have Phygelius in the garden but not the same one. I have to say I love the colour of yours. It can be quite invasive down here so a good plant to give divisions away to friends and family.

    It's gorgeous @Chicky.   Good to know @Floralies.   I shall keep an eye out for some here.

    Mr Smug here, I identified it from the description in the title @chicky.
    " Sounds like Phygelius to me " I thought when I read it.

    @floralies @Obelixx many thanks.  Might see if I can get him to do a few more and pinch one myself

    @Hostafan1 smugness well deserved .... or maybe it was my sublime skill in title composition 😉

    @chicky, Oops should be Devils Tears not Teas! I wonder what Devils Teas are!    :open_mouth:
