Fuchsia ‘Whiteknights Pearl’
Whiteknights Pearl Hardy Fuchsia
Fuchsia 'Whiteknights Pearl' produces abundant, slender single flowers with long white tubes, pale pink recurved sepals tipped in green, and clear pink corollas from early summer until fall frost. Small, lance-shaped dark green leaves densely cover upright, gently arching stems, creating a lush framework that complements the delicate flowers. Its long flowering season provides continuous color while attracting hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators.
