Fuchsia procumbens

Product number: 644355
Origin: New Zealand
Latin: Fuchsia procumbens

A unique Fuchsia in terms of flowering and growth: the plants creep or hang; it is a modest grower. The small flowers have a yellow throat, both inside and out. The throat has 4 open "flaps" in green with purple. The pistil is greenish-yellow (in the middle) and the stamens are purple and light blue on orange stalks... Truly a rainbow of colors in this subtle little flower! After flowering, bright red berries with seeds appear.
