Maiden's Blush Fuchsia, Fuchsia magellanica 'Alba'
Introduced in 1929, Fuchsia magellanica var. molinae (Hardy Fuchsia) is a wonderfully elegant, upright deciduous shrub, noted for its hardiness and dainty flowers. Emerging in spring, small, lance-shaped, dark green leaves line the gracefully arching branches. From early summer until frost, the shrub is decorated with a profusion of slender, single flowers with white sepals and exquisite pale lilac corollas. Attractive to bees and hummingbirds, this flowering shrub is perfect for mixed borders.
