Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The Slender Fuchsia Bush is a mid growing evergreen with a crazy long bloom period from early fall through late spring. The orange-red tubular flowers appear on mass which causes much concern to indecisive humming birds - but we like when they linger. We’ve tried several Eremophila in the garden and this character has been the star pupil for ease of growth and again - that crazy long bloom period.
