This California fuchsia is a fairly large upright flowering perennial. Very showy in late summer and fall when covered with 1-2 inch fuchsia flowers. But the primary reason to plant it is for the hummingbirds that park in mass in the garden when this California fuchsia is in flower. Catalina fuchsia will grow in full sun to part shade but it prefers good drainage with a little extra water. - Bert Wilson laspilitas.com
