Mexicana California Fuchsia |
Description
This California fuchsia is a low growing perennial that is useful if you need a ground cover in an area that gets 10"-40" rainfall. After the first summer, this fuchsia flowering plant can make it on its own. If you cut it back hard in the winter, it will stay 3"-6" high spread to 3'-6' across and have hundreds of hot red flowers on it in late summer. Bert Wilson www.laspilitas.com

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
