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
