The most striking feature of Papoose Fuchsia is its abundant, bi-coloured flowers. The outer petals are red, while the inner petals are a contrasting purple, creating a beautiful and eye-catching effect. The flowers are pendulous and bell-shaped, hanging gracefully from the stems of this deciduous shrub.
Though generally grown for their ornamental appeal, hardy fuchsias have edible leaves, flowers and berries.
