This hardy, small flowered fuchsia has the familiar purple and pink flower, but its foliage is a warm glowing yellow, especially when its happiest in moist half sun. Tends to be lower (to 3 ft or so) than other selections. Handsome. USDA zone 7 with mulch to protect the crown. A die-back shrub at lower temperatures.
