Firecracker Fuchsia is a dazzling foliage and flower plant that lives up to its explosive name. Its most striking feature is its variegated foliage—oval leaves are bright green with irregular, creamy-white and pink margins, creating a vibrant, colorful display even when not in bloom. From spring to fall, it produces clusters of long, slender, fiery orange-red tubular flowers that hang gracefully. With a compact, trailing habit, it is a spectacular choice for hanging baskets, containers, or the front of shaded borders where its foliage and flowers can be admired up close. Showy Variegated Foliage: Boasts eye-catching green leaves with creamy-white and pink edges, providing non-stop color and interest. Prolific Fiery Orange Blooms: Produces an abundance of long, narrow, bright orange-red flowers that dangle like festive firecrackers over a very long season. Compact & Trailing Habit: Perfectly suited for hanging baskets, window boxes, or the edges of raised planters where it can cascade beautifully. Heat-Tolerant for a Fuchsia: As a Fuchsia triphylla type, it exhibits better tolerance to warmer conditions than many other fuchsia varieties. Hummingbird Magnet: The brightly colored, nectar-rich tubular flowers are specifically adapted to attract hummingbirds.
