Fuchsia 'Golden Gate' (Golden Gate Hardy Fuchsia) 1 gal
This hardy fuchsia is a show-stopper, with gorgeous chartreuse and red-veined foliage a backdrop to the stunning crimson and dark purple single, tubular blooms that are magnets to native hummingbirds. This plant reaches a mature size of about 30 inches tall and wide, making it great for many parts of the landscape, or the main attraction in a container planting where you can easily enjoy the continuous flashy blooms from summer to fall!
Plant these in mostly sun — the yellow foliage may burn if placed in hot midday sun, so best in morning light, dappled light, or open part-shade. Fuchsias are adaptable to many soil types, though they need good drainage. They will become drought tolerant over time, but may require more supplemental watering during establishment than other waterwise plants, especially in fast-draining soils.
Hardy fuchsias are part herbaceous perennial, part deciduous shrublet, requiring that you wait until the new shoots emerge in the spring before cutting back any of the dead woody parts (taking care with the fragile new stems). This cultivar is considered hardy for most of our South Salish Sea region but note that in very cold parts of our region, such as the foothills, these may be only borderline hardy.
This variety was named a PNW “Great Plant Pick” for both its beauty and its resilience in our PNW landscapes.
