Fuchsia procumbens is a very low growing, NZ native, herbaceous perennial that is often used as a groundcover. It features small and round, bright-green leaves and grows to just 5 cm tall with a spread of 1 m. It bears small, yellow flowers in spring which are followed by large, red berries that are great for attracting native birds. It grows best on a consistently moist, semi-shaded, sheltered site. While it is tolerant of coastal environments it does require frost protection. This Fuchsia makes a fantastic, “soft looking” groundcover that is perfect for planting around small to medium sized shrubs or for growing over rocks and tree debris. It also suits being planted so it can trail over a wall, being included in cottage and tropical themed gardens, or being maintained in a container.
