Epilobium canum
Everett's Choice

Low, lush, and seriously prolific, Epilobium canum 'Everett's Choice' is a California Fuchsia selected for its glorious orange-red blooms and beautifully prostrate, spreading habit. Slender, tubular flowers in a bright, hot orange-red erupt from late summer into fall, blanketing a wide mat of silvery, narrow foliage that stays handsome even when the plant is between flushes. At just 6 to 12 inches tall but spreading 2 to 3 feet wide, this is a groundcover-style fuchsia that hugs slopes and borders like nothing else.

A drought-tolerant California native perennial hardy in zones 7-10, 'Everett's Choice' thrives in full sun and the leanest, driest of soils — no summer water needed once established. Hummingbirds find it absolutely irresistible, with the tubular flowers seemingly engineered for them, and the silver foliage offers beautiful year-round contrast. It's deer-resistant and one of the easiest natives to grow.

Use it to cover dry, sunny slopes, drape over retaining walls, or carpet the front of a low-water border. A standout selection for California-native and Mediterranean-style gardens, and a hummingbird magnet from August through frost.
