A ghost of a Fuchsia – palest green leaves with white margins & flowers of the softest porcelain pink. Hummingbirds love it & though it’s not a mite resistant variety, I can’t resist it either! Graceful & hardy, this is a tough shrub; it goes deciduous during winter below Zone 9, but re-sprouts & fills in quickly, eventually becoming 4’ high & wide. Even when not in flower, the leaves are an excellent foil for neighboring plants. More heat & sun tolerant than many Fuchsias, though I would not go to any extremes on this point. Rich soil is best!
