Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of our favorites, with leaves of golden orange and sometimes pinky maroon. It is lovely for the foliar effect alone but produces deep cerise flowers as well. Low growing to about 2', it is a good spiller. This has been hardy for us in the ground, but we would not consider it the hardiest of fuchsias. At its best in containers where other golden and maroon foliage is used. Full sun in coastal climates to dappled shade elsewhere. Ground hardy in USDA zone 8 or above. Onagraceae

Bright red flowers contrast against the copper orange leaves. Low growing variety makes a great hanging basket or groundcover. Likes partial shade and adequate water.

Coppery orange to old gold tinted foliage all season, but this coloring is most pronounced in the cooler temperatures of early autumn. Rose red/violet flowers dangle from the pendulous branches. Surprising and colorful as a topiary subject
