Hardy Fuchsia
An excellent landscape choice, Fuchsia magellanica var. gracilis (Hardy Fuchsia) is a vigorous, medium-sized deciduous shrub noted for its handsome arching growth and pretty flowers. Emerging in spring, small, ovate, mid- to dark green leaves line the gracefully arching branches. From early summer until frost, the shrub is decorated with long pendant, crimson sepals surrounding deep purple corollas. Attractive to bees and hummingbirds, this flowering shrub makes a very attractive specimen plant and is also perfect for growing as a hedge.
