Fuchsia Devonshire Dumpling

Award-winning Fuchsia 'Devonshire Dumpling' is a deciduous small shrub with a profusion of large double flowers adorned with broad pink sepals that elegantly reflex when the flower is open. Large and fluffy, the white corolla is flushed pink. Blooming non-stop from early summer to fall, both the flowers and fat pointed buds stand out against the foliage of mid-green leaves. They are produced in such quantities that the branches bend down under their weight. Attractive to bees and hummingbirds, this gorgeous Fuchsia makes a superb choice for hanging baskets, containers.
