Description

This California Fuchsia is a fairly large, upright flowering perennial. Very showy in late summer and fall when covered with 1"-2" fuchsia flowers. But the primary reason to plant it is for the hummingbirds that park in mass in the garden when this California fuchsia is in flower. Catalina fuchsia will grow in full sun to part shade but it prefers good drainage with a little extra water. - Bert Wilson laspilitas.com

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
