Almost hardy for us, this dainty Fuchsia has slender pale lavender to pink corollas and white to pink sepals, which adorn semi upright branches most of the summer. Where hardy, it can form a shrub 4-5' tall and 6' wide, but we grow this as a container subject where it can be pinched to accomodate a medium size pot or trianed as topiary.
