Gray California Fuchsia is a late
summer/early fall blooming plant with profuse bright orange-red flowers. Its
soft gray foliage and 1-2 inch long flowers are light and airy and move
gracefully with the breeze.
In the background of the picture on the left, you can see the silvery leaves of White Sage and the small, starry, blue flowers of Society Garlic. |

Gray California Fuchsia is a very important fall blooming plant, not only for the much needed boost of color, but also for the nectar rich flower tubes that feed the Hummingbirds. Sometimes called Hummingbird Trumpet, this narrow flower is just the right shape for Hummingbirds but not so great for other insects. |

When the plant is through blooming, it should be cut back by about two-thirds. We sometimes cut ours back all the way to the ground, but this makes it take longer for the plant to regrow and look good again. Once established Gray California Fuchsia can take quite a bit of drought but looks better with regular watering.
