It has attractive grayish green fol iage edged in creamy white with hints of pink. The serrated oval leaves are highly ornamental and remain grayish green throughout the winter. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. The dark red stems can be quite attractive. Island Sunset Fuchsia will grow to be about 18 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet.

It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. Show more
