I Have killed these in the past, so I was very very happy when this one got to the point of blooming...
I've killed them in the past by over watering, so I planted this one right away in wine barrel #3, which gets the most direct sun, and avoided watering too much right near the plant.
It's looking healthy and happy, just a bit scrawny. If it survives to next year, maybe it will expand it's territory in the barrel...
Some info on California Fuschia:
Blooms in late summer/fall - 6 to 12" high by 36" wide, blooms for a long time and hummingbirds like it. cut plants back after it finishes blooming. some varieties send out runners, is drought tolerant in cooler areas, needs water in hot full sun summers. cold hardy to zone 8a.
