A small leaved upright fuchsia with tiny pink flowers, this has leaves of green and white. In a window that receives morning light it would be happy in a small pot on the window sill. In summer it can be moved outdoors. It would also be a nice addition to a mixed container of flowering plants. Other good companions for this would be felicia, chaenorrhinum, convolvulus, lobelia, silene and carex as just a few of the possibilities. Cold hardy to USDA Zones 9 and 10, and possibly Zone 8 with protection. |
