Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A delicate little Fuchsia reminding one of F. magellanica, but smaller in stature, stopping at under 3' tall for me so far after many years in the garden. Little blooms of pink with purple (pretty standard for hardy Fuchsias) are produced from late spring until hard frost. If it's really happy it may colonize the garden spreading at the roots, but not to the point of being pesky. This is one of the most heat tolerant Fuchsias, as well as very hardy, and shows potential to adapt to east coast gardens. The top will die back around 22 °F but it's root hardy to at least 0 °F. Evergreen shrub, colonizing to 5'x7'. Likes water. Brazil.
