Fushia Gartenmeister 8'' Pot

What is Gartenmeister fuchsia plant? Native to the West Indies, Gartenmeister fuchsia (Fuchsia triphylla ‘Gartenmeister Bonstedt’) is a continual blooming, shrubby evergreen in zones 9-11. Grown as an annual in cooler climates, Gartenmeister fuchsia is more heat tolerant than other fuchsias. It is sometimes called honeysuckle fuchsia because its long, tubular orange-red flowers resemble honeysuckle flowers. Growing 1-3 feet tall and wide, Gartenmeister fuchsia grows upright when young but becomes more pendulous with age. It also displays attractive green-bronze foliage with purple-red undersides on red stems. Gartenmeister fuchsia is a sterile hybrid of Fuchsia triphylla, meaning it rarely produces seeds and, when it does, the seed will not produce an identical offspring to the parent plant. Gartenmeister fuchsias can be successfully propagated by cuttings or divisions, though.
