A Bit More

Epilobium canum ‘Catalina’ is a cultivar of the native California fuchsia with long, gray-green leaves and orange-red-scarlet flowers that last from late summer through fall. ‘Catalina’ is a relatively tall, upright form with mature size typically 3-4′ x 2-3′ but can reach 5′. It attracts hummingbirds and is deer resistant and drought resistant once established, making it ideal for sunny, well-drained sites, though it can handle some shade. It is cold hardy to 5-10°F and is typically semi-evergreen to deciduous, especially in colder areas or with winter dormancy. Formerly Zauschneria californica ‘Catalina’.
