Hardy Fuchsia 'Gracilis'

A strong and graceful hardy fuchsia, 'Gracilis' is celebrated for its delicate yet abundant small, single bell-shaped flowers with slender crimson sepals and violet petals. These charming blooms cascade elegantly from arching stems from early summer until the first hard frosts, attracting hummingbirds. This deciduous or semi-evergreen shrub has a loose, arching habit, making it perfect for mixed borders, informal hedging, or woodland edges. It is remarkably robust and tolerant, thriving in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Protection in very cold winters may be beneficial.
