Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This mite-resistant Fuchsia has large clusters of many, many dark pink buds that open to paler pink flowers. Very pretty & free flowering, too - basically blooming year-round! And the 1" flowers will mature into attractive black berries. Forms a large shrub 10-15’ tall & 8’ wide. The glossy green leaves are quite pretty by themselves. ‘Miep’ is a cross between the Venezuelan Fuchsia venusta & Mexican F. paniculata. Great choice for encouraging hummingbirds in your garden.
