I have it in a wooden planter in part sun. It’s by a wall where I hope foot traffic is at a minimum. It’s right next to our Rosa Californica – the plan is to keep the jaggy plants away from people reducing injuries and snagged clothing. In favorable conditions Fuchsia-flowering Gooseberry will grow over 5′ tall. It produces large numbers of bight red dangling fuchsia-like flowers that hummingbirds adore. Red colored fruits come along later to keep the other birds amused. It has a moderate growth rate and in the height of summer it will most likely lose all it’s leaves as it enters a short dormancy period. New leaves will grow back as the temperature cools into autumn. Drought tolerant once established.
