Late in the twentieth century, a new species of Fuchsia was discovered growing on one of the Caribbean islands in a relatively hot environment. As fuchsiaphiles (lovers of fuchsia) are all painfully aware, prior to this discovery, virtually all Fuchsia species (and their hundreds of hybrids) preferred moist, cool, frost-free growing environments. This limited their use in outdoor garden settings for everyone outside of coastal California and the Pacific Northwest. Billy Green fuchsia (Fuchsia 'Billy Green'), however, is an offspring of that heat-tolerant fuchsia and has expanded the range of garden fuchsias to much of the central and eastern United States. When grown outdoors, natural predators (particularly lace wings) keep white fly populations on fuchsias down to manageable levels.
