Orange Carpet Hummingbird Trumpet
Orange Carpet hummingbird trumpet is a rapidly spreading variety of hardy fuchsia. It forms a low groundcover of fuzzy, thin, green leaves.
From mid summer to fall, it is covered with masses of small, orange, trumpet-shaped blossoms appearing on the last few inches of each stem.
This plant spreads by underground rhizomes and can fill in an area, making it a good groundcover. Hummingbirds love to feed on the nectar.
