Riccartonii Hardy Fuchsia

A true classic for borders, hedges, and containers, ‘Riccartonii’ Fuchsia brings a dramatic pop of color from early summer until frost. Its graceful, arching stems are covered in crimson-red sepals and deep purple corollas, creating a dazzling contrast against dark green foliage. This tough, upright shrub thrives in cool, damp conditions, attracts hummingbirds, and is remarkably easy to grow. Whether planted as a flowering hedge or in mixed borders, ‘Riccartonii’ is a long-lasting garden favorite that delivers nonstop color with minimal effort.
