California fuchsia
This attractive herbaceous perennial grows 1.5 feet tall and 2 feet wide. Space 36-48″ apart.
In the garden it is well-suited in containers, rock gardens, informal gardens, and cascading down rock walls. It is particularly stunning when planted on a rocky slope nestled between boulders.
A terrific hummingbird plant, California fuchsia blooms during the warmest part of the year, August to October, to coincide with the south migration of hummingbirds.
Prune to the ground annually and as needed for best appearance. It will re-vegetate rapidly.
