California Fuchsia (Epilobium canum) is a beautiful native perennial groundcover to sub-shrub of the California foothills and coastal areas. It is a perennial plant, notable for the many bright red flowers in summer and autumn. They tend to dormant in the winter, which is a good time to prune the old foliage to encourage new growth in spring. Easy to grow, will do best and flower most profusely in full sun. It can spread by seed and by rhizomes. Great for attracting hummingbirds. This plant is on several fire-resistant plant lists, including FireSafe Marin and County of San Diego.
