Their reverses are pink and green-tipped as well. The corolla is also pink, but brighter and cleaner in color. Indeed, the base of the corolla is even richer pink. Even the flower tube is pink with vertical ribbing. The only thing that is not pink about Fuchsia 'Pink Lena' are the stamens which extend more than a half-an-inch beyond the lip of the corolla. It is somewhat trailing in habit. Summer to autumn. 2 ft. x 2 ft. Pink flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 8, 9, 10*
n the maritime Pacific Northwest, we grow hardy Fuchsias in full sun where they bloom non-stop from late spring to first frost. In hotter climates, we recommend giving Fuchsias protection from the afternoon sun. Fuchsias make wonderful subjects containers and for the mixed border.
