Fuchsia procumbens 'Variegata', an irregularly variegated cultivar of a prostrate multi-branched deciduous shrub native to northern New Zealand. Its small flowers are attractive and brighter than those of the species, with longer sepals. Height: 0.15m; Spread: 2m. This forms leaves are mottled green and white.
It will develop roots on branches in contact with soil. The size of the leaves varies according to the amount of light the plant is getting - smaller where light levels are high.
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.
