About This Plant
Fuchsia magellanica 'Hawkshead' (Hardy Fuchsia), 'Hawkshead', is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.
Hardy Fuchsias have pendulous tubular flowers in pink, red, or purple , hummingbird favorites. Some species (F. magellanica and hybrids) are hardy in PNW; tropical fuchsias are summer container plants.
Part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Hardy USDA Zone 7 to 11. Mulch the crown for winter protection. Hummingbird-attractive.
For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
