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

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
