The Fuchsia procumbens small, numerous flowers are unique among fuchsias because the tube is yellow. The sepals are green with a purple tip folded down against the tube, and the pollen is blue. When fertilised, they turn red and are eventually replaced by a plum-like red fruit that is disproportionately large considering the size of the leaves and flowers. | The Fuchsia procumbens small, numerous flowers are unique among fuchsias because the tube is yellow.
