Fuchsia triphylla 'Coralle'

Common Name:
Coralle Fuchsia

Description:
Fuchsia triphylla 'Coralle' is a distinctive and elegant fuchsia variety admired for its slender, tubular flowers in vibrant coral-pink to salmon-red tones. These flowers dangle gracefully from arching stems, creating a tropical, fountain-like effect that attracts bees, butterflies, and nectar-feeding birds. Blooming from late spring well into autumn, 'Coralle' offers long-lasting colour and a refined presence in shaded and semi-shaded areas of the garden. Its dark green, lance-shaped foliage adds contrast to the bright blooms and creates a lush, bushy form. In Melbourne’s climate, this fuchsia performs best in part shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun and thrives in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for underplanting, containers, or as a feature in woodland-style gardens, 'Coralle' brings exotic flair and reliable flowering to cooler, sheltered positions.
