The Fuchsia 'Dark Eyes' is a popular annual appreciated for its pendulous red and purple bicoloured flowers that bring elegance to shady arrangements. The bright red sepals contrast sharply with the dark purple, almost crimson corolla, creating a rich and spectacular effect.
Its habit is trailing and well-branched, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers. The plant is covered in flowers throughout the season, from early summer until the first frosts.
Very floriferous and decorative, this fuchsia is perfect for adding color and movement to shady areas.
Attracts pollinators, especially hummingbirds
