Fuchsia 'Little Giant' is a compact shrub covered in dainty flowers with red sepals and corollas on a textural background of small, lance-shaped leaves. A number of different Fuchsia are hardy to zone 7 or 8. To increase hardiness bury the base of the shrub 3-4 inches below the surface of the soil as you would a rose.
