Epilobium canum 'U.C. Hybrid'
Scarlet tubular flowers line the stems of this bushy California fuchsia. The late-summer and fall flowers provide nectar for hummingbirds.
Growing conditions
Plant in full sun in soil that drains. Give regular water while roots establish, then water deeply and sparingly during prolonged dry spells. Established plants tolerate drought. Let the soil dry between waterings.
Expect about 18 inches tall and 3 feet wide. Once established, the clump expands as new shoots fill in around it.
Landscape uses and care
Try bringing late-season color to dry borders and sunny banks. Cut back spent stems in winter after flowering and remove spreading shoots where they crowd neighboring plants.
