    Hi there,

    The leaves on my Phygelius look all dry and wrinkly.

    Does anyone have any similar challenges with them or have any ideas?

    I may give it a hard prune and mulch and hope for the test.

    Thanks
    Fin

    That looks like a fungal disease of some sort, GardeningFin. They're rife this Spring. There's nothing effective on the market anymore to treat them, so yes, prune it, dispose of the infected leaves carefully + any on the soil around the plant, and make sure the feed isn't too high in nitrogen.
