California Fuchsia

California Fuchsia is a vibrant, drought-tolerant native perennial herb prized for its brilliant red tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds and pollinators throughout late summer and fall. This hardy native thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to dry, well-draining soils, making it an excellent choice for water-wise gardens and landscapes. California Fuchsia adds season-long color and wildlife appeal to borders, containers, and native plant gardens. Blooms typically appear from August through October, providing late-season interest when many other plants are fading.
