One of the most hardy fuchsias around and not usually eaten by rabbits. So named because these can grow up to 6 feet - 10 feet tall and are very vigorous.

Suitable for most aspects from full sun to partial shade. Does not perform well in dense shade.
Suitable for coastal areas.

We are not aware that this plant is poisonous.
Fuchsias are recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
