Latin Name:  Fuchsia fulgens
Family:  Onagraceae
Author:  DC.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  2   Mature Width:  1

Habitat:  Rocky places, woodlands and open areas, sometimes as an epiphyte, in Jalisco, Michoacan, Chirpas and Veracruz.

Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in any fertile well-drained circum-neutral soil[200]. Succeeds in a good loam if leafmold and sand are added[1]. This species is only hardy in the mildest parts of Britain, and even there it can be cut back by frosts[166]. Plants have a tuberous rootstock[166], and if cut back by frost will often regenerate from the roots. The roots can be dug up and stored overwinter in a cool dry but frost-free location and then planted out again in the spring[188]. Plants seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits[233]. A good bee plant[108]. This species is a parent of many ornamental cultivated greenhouse varieties[1]. Plants are very susceptible to whitefly[188].
