Fuchsia sanctae-rosae, commonly known as Santa Rosa Fuchsia or Peruvian Fuchsia, is a deciduous shrub native to the humid montane forests of the Andes in South America. It typically grows to a height of 4-10 feet (1.2-3 meters) and a width of 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 meters). The plant features slender, arching branches and bears pendulous, tubular flowers that are most commonly pink or purple, blooming profusely in the summer and spring. The flowers are quite showy, attracting hummingbirds and other pollinators.

Santa Rosa Fuchsia is valued for its ornamental flowers and is often used in garden borders, containers, and as a specimen plant in areas with mild climates. It requires protection from hot afternoon sun and prefers part shade conditions. The plant thrives in medium or fast-draining loam or sandy soils, with consistent moisture. While generally easy to maintain, it can be susceptible to fuchsia rust, mites, and whiteflies. Regular monitoring and appropriate treatments can help manage these potential issues. It is also sensitive to frost, so in cooler climates, it may need to be grown in a greenhouse or brought indoors during winter.CC BY-SA 4.0
