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 form of California Fuchsia is used by the hummingbirds, but with not the gusto and bravado provided the straight California species, so I'd guess the nectar is not as delectable. - Bert Wilson www.laspilitas.com
