News ItemFuchia garden takes shape in the Arboretum (Posted 8/11/2009)
Although the sign says "Future Site of Hardy Fuchsia Species Collection" The future is now if you look at
our Hardy Fuchsia Species Garden. Granted the plantings are a bit sparse,
but working with the Western Fuchsia Species Society (WFSS), Board member Ione Tufts
has already populated the garden with several plants. The garden will continue to take
shape later this year and will be complete by next year when it will feature species of fuchsias
from all over the world. Species currently in the garden include:
- F. campos-portoi
- F. bracelinea
- F. coccinea
- F. magellanica
- F. procumbens
- F. hatschbachii
- F. glazioviana
- F. splendens
- F. denticulata
- F. ravenii
Visit the Arboretum now to see these species fuchsias as well as the many hybrids we have
growing in our perennial beds.
