Fuchsia Giant Royal Velvet (Fuchsia x hybrida) is the crown princess of the royal court. See her in all her finery as she parades past in her royal purple and regal cerise pendant blooms. She will catch the eye of every commoner and peer. She stands tall (up to 3-4 feet) as a shrub in cool weather or parts of the country where summers are mild. Don't let her get hot or burnt by the sun. She enjoys early morning dappled light and afternoon shade with a consistent drink to keep her roots moist.
