Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Bright vermilion nodding narrow blooms with flared chartreuse tips jazz up a tailored dark green foil. Sporting a glint on top and lighter undersides, clasping pairs of small narrowly heart-shaped leaves cloak the rounded, intricately branched habit of this preeminent Australian Fuchsia. Introduced by U.C. Santa Cruz and Koala Blooms, 'Carpenter Rocks' makes an attractive textural statement when planted in drifts or sited singularly in a shrubby border.
