Precious platinum foliage & loud, flashy crimson trumpets make a stunning show through Summer & late into Fall. How can you not love our native Zauschnerias/Epilobiums? Honestly, I don’t care what they’re called, just keep that color coming. To 1’ high & 1-3’ wide, ‘Wayne’s Silver’ is an excellent choice for the dry border or parking strip, large pots & definitely & most importantly, anywhere you’d like to sit & watch your dear hummingbird neighbors stage turf wars. Compared to other “California Fuchsias” you might know, this one is more compact & less rampant in growth, but it’s still rugged & reliable. An occasional deep soak will keep this plant in primo shape. Dormant & deciduous in Winter months, it emerges green-leaved & fresh in the Spring & quickly develops its characteristic (& fantastic) metallic sheen.
