Fuchsia microphylla 4 inch Pot Plant EASY RED ENCLIANDRA UNUSUAL
Fuchsia microphylla
Encliandras Fuchsias originate from the high areas of the tropical rain forests in Central America. These are usually characterized by small flowers and have 4 stamens protruding beyond the rim of the tube instead of the usual 8 as per other Fuchsias. If you are a Fuchsia collector and have not yet looked into the species, here is one Encliandra that would merit a place in your garden. Fuchsia microphylla is vigorous growing, and trouble-free upright perennial that will flower profusely, almost year-round. The pinkish-red blooms, although on the small side, are produced in such multitudes that they shine out like jewels from the foliage, creating a gentle, pretty effect. These are followed by little green berries that turn black upon ripening. The tiny, green, roundish, fern-like leaves are perfectly in proportion to the blooms. Such daintiness makes this plant a perfect subjet for bonsai, although if grown as a taller shrub, it would also be a highlight in any garden. Hardy from zone 9 onwards. 3 feet tall and wide. Part shade, but tolerates full sun. Rich, moist soil. Regular watering.
