Description

Fuchsias are floriferous shrubby plants, of which thousands of varieties have been created through successive and repeated cross-breeding. In cold regions, the stumps will benefit from being protected with a litter layer of dead leaves after cutting back the foliage to 10 cm (3.9 in) from the ground.

'Versicolor' has bicolored flowers like magellanica, but with beautiful tender green foliage veined with red and irregularly marginate with white. Do not confuse this variety with F. magellanica var. gracilis 'Tricolor' whose flowers are entirely red.
