Latin Name:  Fuchsia colensoi
Family:  Onagraceae
Author:  Hook.f.
 
Known Hazards:  None known
 
Mature Height:  10   Mature Width:  
 
Habitat:  Not known



Cultivation Notes:  Succeeds in any fertile well-drained circum-neutral soil. Prefers semi-shade and a sheltered position. Does well in woodland conditions. Plants are only hardy in the mildest parts of Britain, they grow well in Cornwall where they can attain a large size[11]. The young growth in spring, even on mature plants, is frost-tender and so it is best to grow the plants in a position sheltered from the early morning sun[K]. A very variable species, it is closely related to F. excorticata[11] and considered by some authorities to be a naturally occuring hybrid with that species[44]. Plants seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits[233].
