Add Tropical Flair to Your Garden With a Pop of Fuchsia

Fuchsias can play a special role in your garden. While most shaded areas in your landscape may be filled by default with green foliage, fuchsias add spots of bright color in shades of pink and purple. Hybrid fuchsias (Fuchsia x hybrida) feature some of the showiest flowers, with hundreds of varieties, and are the most commonly available fuchsia plants. These tender perennials are most at home in areas with cool summers and warm winters, but they can and often are treated as annuals in other areas. If you’re lucky enough to live where they’ll handle the winters, you can keep them coming back again and again.
