Plant Highlights

The Fuschia flowering Gooseberry is one of the best displays of wild flowers in Claifornia. With short, round evergreen leaves, the fuschia flowers are adorned under thorn protected branches. This shrub is a favorite of hummingbirds and provides shelter that is defended dearly by the birds. The flowers produce twice a year, once in spring, then again in early fall, setting to fragrant, red berries in the late Spring and Fall.
