Hardy Fuchsia 'Shrimp Cocktail'
Fuchsia 'Shrimp Cocktail'
1 quart pot

A delightful and eye-catching hardy fuchsia, Shrimp Cocktail produces abundant pendulous flowers with bright coral-pink sepals surrounding creamy white petals delicately flushed with soft pink. The unique bicolor blooms resemble tiny shrimp, giving this cultivar its memorable name. Blooming continuously from summer until frost, the elegant flowers dangle gracefully from arching stems and are irresistible to hummingbirds.
 
This vigorous selection develops into a neat, bushy shrub and performs beautifully in containers, hanging baskets, and mixed borders. It thrives in part sun to part shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil. In the Pacific Northwest, established plants typically overwinter well with a protective mulch and reward gardeners with reliable blooms year after year.
