The fuchsias in this section are characterised by a long thin tube with short stiffly held sepals and a short corolla. The flowers are strongly coloured with deeply coloured foliage to effect a startling contrast.
These varieties will require frost protection, but can take a more sunny position than other types of fuchsia during the summer months.
