Catalina California Fuchsia

Get ready for late-season hummingbird magic! 'Catalina' California Fuchsia produces masses of brilliant scarlet-red tubular flowers from late summer through fall, creating spectacular color just when most gardens are winding down. This exceptional selection features particularly vibrant, glowing red blooms that practically shimmer in autumn light.

Hummingbirds become devoted visitors, feeding frantically to fuel their migration or prepare for winter. The silvery-gray foliage provides beautiful year-round contrast to the fiery flowers and looks stunning in morning and evening light. 'Catalina' is particularly valued for its compact, well-behaved growth habit and tidiness compared to some wild California fuchsias. This selection spreads gently rather than aggressively, making it perfect for smaller gardens, borders, or containers.

Extremely drought tolerant once established, it thrives on neglect in hot, dry conditions. Perfect for water-wise gardens, rock gardens, or anywhere you want late-season color with minimal care. Thrives in full sun and handles heat beautifully. Deer resistant and virtually maintenance-free - just cut back in late winter and enjoy months of hummingbird spectacles!
