Fuchsia procumbens

Tiny heart-shaped leaves and erect 1" yellow-turning-to-orange-red flowers followed by bright red 3/4" berries make this miniature 3-4' vine/scrambler special for rock garden, hanging basket or wall. S-PSh/M/GDr (not dry)

One of only two species from New Zealand, this beach dweller grows only a few inches in height but behaves as a ground cover. The stems are wiry with round 3/8" leaves and, in true New Zealand style, the flowers are weird, under 1/2" and green infused with blue, yellow, and orange. Attractive, purple-black fruit follows late in the season. A great spiller for containers or amid bold leaved plants in the semi-shaded perennial garden. Even moisture. Frost hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8.

This very cool groundcover would not be quickly recognized as a Fuchsia. It forms a nice mat of small, round leaves on slender woody stems. The small, upwards pointing, yellow and purple flowers are not spectacular but are intriguing when viewed up close. Native only to a restricted area of Northern New Zealand, it turns out to be perfectly hardy for milder Northwest gardens and very easy to grow, though it will drop its leaves in cold weather. For a moist situation in sun or partial shade. Hardy to 10-15 °F.

A unique curiosity among Fuchsias! New Zealand is the native home of this highly unusual species with tiny but fascinating flowers. Just a centimeter long, with a yellow tube, green & black tepals, red & purple stamens, & – believe it or not – blue pollen! It's a mini rainbow! Even better, the flowers are followed by grape-sized red fruit, which is both ornamental & edible, & very conspicuous amidst the dense emerald foliage. One of the few plants that we grow that I would genuinely recommend for hanging baskets, this rarity also makes a pleasant groundcover for shade. Flowers off & on, late Spring through frost. No more than 3” tall, & spreads to about 3'. Evergreen in mild areas, & like most Fuchsias, is a little bit tender. Rich soil is best!

Semi-evergreen prostrate perennial 4" tall and slowly spreading. Precious small upward facing flowers of pale orange and green. Showy red fruit in the fall.
