A beautiful exotic fuchsia with tiny silvery grey leaves and minute red and purple flowers borne in abundance during most of the growing season. A plant that was collected by Sue and Bleddyn Wynne-Jones on Cordillera de Talamanca, Costa Rica at 2800m. Prefers a sunny site where it will grow to about 45cm (18"). Lovely!
