Fuchsia - ShadowDancer® Betty
This Proven Selections plant blooms all summer long. They are great plants for greenhouses, window boxes, baskets, homes, and flower beds. For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial. Fuchsias do not like to dry out. The Fuchsia ShadowDancer® Betty, 'Fuchsia hybrid', is a very early blooming Fuschia with exceptional uniformity and compact growth.

The flowers, which are produced during the summer and early fall, are droopy and come in many colors. The red sepals with white corolla flowers perch well above the bushy small leaved foliage. These plants have dark green leaves often with red stems. Fuschia is one of the Hummingbirds favorite flowers. In many parts of the country (and especially if planted in a hanging pot) the fuchsia will require daily watering. ... details
