Although it is considered ground cover, I secured the longest stems to a trellis to give the pollinators better access. It seemed to do the trick as the hummingbirds spent a lot of time visiting this plant. The seedlings will be used as ground cover, as nature intended.

The Common California Fuchsia likes full sun and little water. Like related Fuchsia’s this will continue to bloom well into the autumn. It is not likely to get any taller than a foot or two but can spread a bit further. It grows quickly and to keep it looking good it is recommended to prune established plants back every couple of years to encourage fresh vibrant growth.
