Encliandras Fuchsias originate from the high areas of the tropical rain forests in Central America. These are usually characterized by small flowers and have 4 stamens protruding beyond the rim of the tube instead of the usual 8 as per other Fuchsias. If you are a Fuchsia collector and have not yet looked into the species, here is one Encliandra that would merit a place in your garden. Fuchsia microphylla ssp microphylla is a vigorous growing, and trouble-free upright perennial that will flower profusely, almost year-round. The reddish-pink blooms are probably the smallest in the world of Fuchsias, but produced in such multitudes that they shine out like jewels from the foliage, creating a gentle, pretty effect. These are followed by little green berries that turn black upon ripening. This subspecies has tiny, glossy green, elliptical leaves compared to the straight species with roundish leaves. Size of foliage is perfectly in proportion to the blooms. Such daintiness makes this plant a perfect subject for bonsai, although if grown as a taller shrub, it would also be a highlight in any garden. Hardy from zone 9 onwards. 3 feet tall and wide. Part shade, but tolerates full sun. Rich, moist soil. Regular watering. Exclusive seeds, harvested 07/2026.
