Like dainty ballerinas, tubular crimson flowers abundantly dangle from branches cloaked in deep green comely leaves. Esteemed for its verdant bushy form, which grows with amazing vigor and frost tolerance, this interspecific cross between Fuchsia campos-portoi and Fuchsia magellanica was bred by Peter Baye. ‘Campo Thilco’s lovely demeanor can be coupled with Salvia ‘Limelight’, and due to an abundance of rhizomes, its numerous basal shoots should be pruned hard each spring.

Blooms June–October.

Size: 3' 0" – 6' 0" high x 4' 0" wide.

Zone 6/7.

We have Dr. Peter Baye, a Bay Area botanist and fuchsia breeder, to thank for this elegant 1996 ‘Fanfare x Fuchsia harlingii hybrid celebrating spectacular pendulous blooms and a winsome habit that conquers rust as well as fuchsia gall mite. Distinguished by decorative thick walls, wide-open tips and a lustrous finish, the tubular 3 in. long, scarlet-orange flowers embellish numerous loosely arranged, upright and arching branches clad in glossy, veined dark green leaves with reddish flip sides and petioles. Appreciative of adequate moisture, some humidity, dappled shade and protection from hot afternoon sun plus temperatures below 20°, ‘Grand Harfare’ lends dazzling multi-seasonal color to tropical-style gardens, sheltered garden niches and containers.

Blooms October–April

Size: 2' 0" – 4' 0" high x 3' 0" – 3-1/2' wide.

Hardy to zone 8.
