Substantial, easy, and distinctive hardy that's tall enough to make a good fuchsia hedge. Free flowering, best planted outdoors, too vigorous for most long term pot culture.

Tube: Carmine scarlet, short, bulbous.

Sepals: Carmine scarlet, very broad, fully up, well recurved right back to the ovary.

Corolla: Violet, paler base with a prominent cerise vein running through it. Petals are of different lengths, generally smooth, smaller ones slightly rolled, main ones have a flat edge, 1/4 flared. Style and filaments are a good deep pink.

Parentage: F. molinae Alba X Heritage.
