Fuchsia magellanica var. gracilis 'Variegata', commonly known as Fuchsia Variegata, is an elegant deciduous shrub celebrated for its delicate variegated foliage and striking tubular flowers. The plant features small, ovate leaves variegated in shades of pink, silver, and green, creating a soft, colorful foliage display that contrasts beautifully with its abundant long-stalked flowers. The flowers showcase vibrant red tubes and sepals paired with deep violet-purple petals, blooming freely from late spring through summer. This vigorous, upright, and bushy shrub typically grows 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, making it a wonderful choice for hedges, borders, or decorative containers in temperate gardens.
