Plant history & use
’Tricolor’ is a particularly decorative variety of outdoor fuchsia with variegated leaves in green, white, and pink, which together with the hanging red-violet flowers create a striking appearance throughout the summer. Like other varieties of Fuchsia magellanica, it is hardy, perennial, and survives the winter in large parts of Sweden – something unusual for fuchsias.
The small, elongated berries that may follow the flowering are edible and have a mild, tangy taste. In its native countries, the plant has traditionally been used in simple herbal preparations, among other things for digestion.
A natural black dye can be extracted from the wood.
Resistant to wind and salt – suitable as a hedge in coastal environments
Cultivation
Thrives in sun to partial shade in nutrient-rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. ’Tricolor’ works excellently as a standalone shrub, border plant, or low hedge. Very resistant to wind and salt, making it especially suitable as a protective hedge in coastal areas. Overwinters outdoors in zones 1–2, also in zone 3 in sheltered locations. The shoots often freeze back, but the shrub sprouts from the base in spring – prune then to encourage new growth.
Characteristics
Perennial: Perennial
Light conditions: Sun to partial shade
Height: 0.6–1 meter
