Epilobium canum
Sierra Salmon

Soft, glowing, and irresistibly luminous in late-summer light, Epilobium canum 'Sierra Salmon' is a California Fuchsia in a deliciously unusual color. Where the classic species blooms in fiery orange-red, 'Sierra Salmon' opts for a luminous salmon-pink that practically glows against narrow gray-green foliage — a softer, sunset-toned twist on a beloved native. The plant forms a tidy, slowly spreading clump of about 12 to 18 inches, blanketing itself with masses of slender tubular flowers from late summer well into fall.

A tough, drought-tolerant California native perennial hardy in zones 7-10, 'Sierra Salmon' thrives in full sun, asks for very little water once established, and shrugs off the long, dry months that send other plants into hiding. Hummingbirds find it absolutely magnetic — those long tubular flowers are tailor-made for them — and the late-season bloom timing makes it especially valuable for migrating birds and pollinators.

Plant it on a sunny slope, in a dry border, or alongside silvery sages and California buckwheats for a softer, more nuanced take on the classic native garden palette. A standout cultivar for water-wise gardeners. To see more California Fuschia plants, see our Epilobium canum collection.
