Zauschneria septentrionalis Mattole River
Identification
Description
(Syn. Epilobium septentrionale, Epilobium canum ssp. septentrionale )Mattole River California Fuchsia is a six inch tall perennial with grey-white foliage forming a clump 2-3 foot across. This California fuchsia likes full sun near the coast and afternoon shade inland. It is native in a 35+inch rainfall area. It is very drought tolerant along the coast but inland you will need to bring the rainfall up to 30 inch with extra water. In coastal gardens it has flowered with fuchsia flowers all summer and into fall. In interior gardens it has flowered for a month or two. The contrast of grey against the orange-red of the flowers is startling and show stopper for both humans and hummingbirds. The only problem we've had with this fuchsia is the deer. They like the flowers as much as the hummingbirds, but they do not pollinate the flowers, it's more like they pollute the flowers. One of the landscape contractors planted a small slope of this California fuchsia in San Luis Obispo and you raves about it, without the customers knowing what it was. Just that orange mass along ... street, do you have something like that?".
