Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tho we?re a bit unsure about its name, this one does describe its 3' very upright habit; it doesn?t come close!, however, to its lovely up-facing June-Oct flowers with pale-pink petals and a soft-blue center... special! S-PSh/M

This unusual and lovely Fuchsia has upward facing flowers, much like a cup in a saucer. Waxy rose pink corollas and white sepals offer a unique form for Fuchsia. Grows to a bushy 3' where hardy, but expect a 18" plant the first summer season. Blooms all summer.
