Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A rare older variety of a wonderful group of fuchsias, the triphyllas, this coral rose selection is more sun and heat tolerant than other types and attracts hummingbirds to the nectar rich tubular flowers. Clusters of flowers open all summer long, making a perfect centerpiece for showy containers combined with spiller 'Lava Rose' coleus. Afternoon shade and mulch keeps it cool in southern areas.
