  • Notes

The California Fuchsia is a perennial with dense, fuzzy, gray green foliage that reaches 3' tall and 5' wide, with a sprawling habit. This California native has red, narrow, trumpet-shaped blooms from late summer through fall that attract hummingbirds. It prefers full sun and regular watering and more during hot summer months. This plant tolerates poor soil.
