📌 Product Description
Fuchsia triphylla is a striking, upright-growing fuchsia species admired for its long, tubular coral-red to orange-red flowers that appear in clusters above attractive foliage. Unlike trailing fuchsia varieties, this type has a more upright, shrubby growth habit, making it ideal for garden beds, borders, and containers.Flowering from spring through autumn, it brings vibrant colour and attracts bees and pollinators. Its slightly bronzed or dark green leaves add additional ornamental value. Well-suited to temperate and coastal South African gardens, it performs best in cooler conditions with protection from extreme heat.
