Bella Evita Fuchsia (Fuchsia 'Bella Evita')
FEWK-see-ah 'Bella Evita'

Deciduous Perennial (usually grown as an annual near you) Trailing, Compact in the Onagraceae Family
A trailing Bella-series fuchsia with white, red-sepaled flowers from summer into autumn.

Fuchsia 'Bella Evita' is a small, deciduous, trailing selection in the Bella series, grown for its pendulous, pendent flowers with a white corolla skirted by red sepals. It blooms from summer into autumn and forms a compact, bushy mound of dark green foliage that spills nicely over the edge of a container or hanging basket.

Pros

  • Striking white-and-red bicolor flowers stand out against dark green foliage
  • Trailing, compact habit suits hanging baskets and container edges
  • Blooms continuously from summer into autumn
  • Tolerates full sun to partial shade, more flexible than many fuchsias

Cons

  • Tender outside roughly Zone 9-10; won't survive a Chicago winter outdoors
  • Needs consistently moist soil, especially in containers and baskets
  • May decline in prolonged summer heat without some afternoon shade
This plant is probably not winter-hardy outdoors where you live.
Highlights

The crisp white-and-red bicolor flower is the draw here, dangling from a compact, naturally trailing plant that's right at home spilling over a hanging basket or container edge. Unlike many fuchsias that insist on shade, 'Bella Evita' tolerates full sun as well as partial shade, giving it a bit more placement flexibility in the garden.

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
