The foliage of this vigorous plant has a reddish cast to its medium-sized leaves. The stems and veins turn vivid red in late fall when planted in the sun. The flower is composed of a red tube and sepals which extend past a deep rose-purple corolla. Very hardy and surprisingly tolerant of low water in the Pacific Northwest. Late spring to frost. 3 ft. x 5 ft. Red/Purple flowers *Part Shade Zones 7, 8, 9, 10*
In 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 in containers and for the mixed border.
