Big, vigorous, easy, and… silver? That's right, this Fuchsia has shiny silver-tinged leaves - talk about exciting color contrast potential! This form is very rare, but undeservedly so. I have my friends at the esteemed Cistus Nursery to thank for sharing this from their jaw-dropping plant collection. Other features and uses - and, hopefully, heat tolerance - as for Fuchsia regia var. regia. Scrambles to 15' or more with support. Red/purple flowers. Likes moisture, part shade. 10 °F.
