California fuschias are natives to California, with this variety found in several nearby states as well. Prized by people and hummingbirds alike for their flowers, they are available from many growers. They can spread quickly and are sometimes considered invasive. They are members of the evening primrose family. Identification: Plants are 18-24" (45-60 cm) high. Most are scarlet red, though some are dark red. There are several closely related species, but this is the only one that occurs outside of California. Online References:
