This mite-resistant Fuchsia has large clusters of many, many dark pink buds that open to paler pink flowers. Very pretty & free flowering, basically blooming year-round! And the flowers will mature into attractive black berries. Forms a large shrub 10-15' tall & 8' wide. The glossy green leaves are quite pretty by themselves. Native to Southern Mexico down through Panama. Great choice for encouraging hummingbirds in your garden.
