Description

The pink form of California Fuchsia grows in part-shade in most areas, full shade in the interior heat, full sun in cool summer areas. The pink variety of California Fuchsia is used by hummingbirds, but not with the gusto and bravado provided by the straight California species, so I'd guess the nectar is not as delectable. - Bert Wilson www.laspilitas.com
