Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Our start of this came from one of our favorite contemporary Victorians, Bryce Fradley of BC. This is rated by the Northwest Fuchsia Society as Very Hardy (Zone 8 and mulch/microclimates in Zone 7) with a lax habit and somewhat upright to 3' with flowering starting in May and June and cranking along right through fall. This has nice slim-waisted red and purple flowers which marry grace and pazazz while providing months of carefree color. Full to half sun and plenty of food as this is burning some serious calories making all of these flowers. Doing beautifully in the lovely gardens of Government House in Victoria BC.
