Fuchsia magellanica
When to plant hardy fuchsia
Set hardy fuchsia out in spring after the last frost in a cool, partly shaded, moist spot. It is the hardiest fuchsia: the top usually dies back at first frost and the mulched roots return in spring in cold areas, where it is treated as a perennial.
Hardy Fuchsia is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
