Notes
'Alba' hardy fuchsia (Fuchsia magellanica 'Alba') is a shrub for borders, containers, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. The arching stems bloom from early to late summer and again in early to mid autumn. Hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
