Positive	Susan_C	On Apr 15, 2008, Susan_C from Alameda, CA (Zone 9b) wrote: Impervious to mites and ever-blooming, this species fuchsia is unusual in its vining habit. It is growing up the lattice around my deck and has lept from that to a second floor balcony to a height of about 20 feet. Requires no care, other than regular water in my bone-dry summer climate. It's an absolute hummingbird magnet and other birds use it for cover from predators.
Positive	jburgh	On Aug 25, 2006, jburgh from Seattle, WA wrote: This is a vigorous grower in the Seattle area. However it is enticing to slugs and snails, so make sure to protect it from these critters. Fuchsia regia does not twine, it must be tied to or woven into a trellis. In 2005/2006 it was evergreen in this climate.
