Zauschneria

Native to hot, dry places along the west coast of North America. These sun loving Californian fuchsia give a splash of colour in that awkward August gap. All forms revel in a light, well drained soil in full sun. Leave all top growth on for the winter as this will give extra protection to the rootstock and only cut back in spring.

All Zauschneria have now been renamed under Epilobium.
