Fuchsia magellanica

Name: Fuchsia magellanica var. gracilis (Onagraceae)
Common Name: Fuchsia


Flower

This species Fuchsia likes cool moist conditions, but can tolerate full Sun. Most of today's hybrid fuchsias have been bred from this species, though it is hard to imagine how to breed large fully double flowers of today's hybrids from the dainty little flowers of the species.
