California Fuchsia

Overview

California Fuchsia (Epilobium canum) is a vibrant perennial thriving in zones 8-10. Its bright red-orange flowers, blooming from summer to fall, attract hummingbirds. Drought-resistant and thriving in full sun, it reaches 1 to 2 feet in height and spreads 2 to 4 feet wide. Ideal for low-water gardens, it requires well-drained soils. Prune post-blooming to maintain shape and encourage growth. Adds a colorful, low-maintenance option for wildscape designs.
