Epilobium (syn. Zauschneria ) canum var. latifolium 'Everett's Choice', California Fuchsia

Low and spreading, this selection has green leaves with a silken grey covering that catches the dew, and bright orange, gorgeously blaring trumpets that hummingbirds endlessly delight in. Given a chance, it will cascade beautifully over a rock wall or edging. It is indeed drought-tolerant but will look more full with occasional summer water. Make certain its soil is well-draining or it will become scraggly...heaven forbid. Mature size: 6-10 in T x 2-3 ft W Minimum temperature: 0° F
