A lush, easy-care shrub for warm climates, green cape fuchsia grows just 6-12 inches tall. Its low-growing habit makes it a nearly perfect groundcover . It begins blooming in early winter and continues producing pretty red and chartreuse bell-shape flowers through early summer. The nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds. Plant green cape fuchsia in full sun or part shade in well-drained soil. After it establishes a strong root system, it is pleasingly drought-tolerant.
