Fuchsia encliandra

A small decidious shrub, with masses of tiny, tiny delicate pink flowers that are only about 1cm long and half a cm wide. But because the are so many it has a magical effect, this is one of our very favourite shrubs. When mature it will only grow to about 50 or 60cm tall and is best in a lovely pot or at the front of a border. Like other hardy Fuchias the stems of the plant will be killed off in winter by the cold, but will come back strongly in the spring..
