About this plant
Epilobium canum
Type: Perennial · Family: Onagraceae
California Fuschia is a fast growing, easy, and extremely climate adapted species. Perfectly adapted to rocky outcroppings and dry chaparral, this plant has no trouble with the urban heat island effect whatsoever. Once established, her late season scarlet trumpet flowers will all but guarantee daily visits from hummingbirds, small bees, and butterflies and require virtually no water. At maturity, California Fuschia forms a small but dense carpet , and will grow and drape over rocks + landscape features.
