Fuchsia paniculata SEEDS

Fuchsia paniculata seeds grow into the paniculate fuchsia a large shrub or small tree native to the wet tropical biome of southern Mexico and Central America (Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama). Described by Lindl. (John Lindley, 17991865). The epithet paniculata means ‘with panicles’ (from Latin), describing the most distinctive and unusual feature of this species: unlike most Fuchsia which bear solitary or small-clustered flowers, F. paniculata produces large, branched panicles of many small, pale pink to magenta-purple flowers, creating a mist-like cloud of bloom quite unlike any other Fuchsia. A larger, woodier species than typical garden fuchsias. Family Onagraceae.

Full sun to partial shade; moist, well-drained fertile soils; warm tropical to subtropical conditions. Frost-tender but more robust than typical garden Fuchsia.
