California Fuchsia Epilobium canum A fall-blooming 1-3 ft. perennial with 4 scarlet sepals and 4 two-cleft petals which form a very long floral tube. They are (not surprisingly!) hummingbird pollinated. There are 8 stamens. The fruit is a 3/4 in. 4-sided pod. Called the salvation of the native plant gardener because it provides some color when not many other plants do!Onagraceae Back to Onagraceae of Orange County, California |
