Scarcely resembling the common garden fuchsias with their large dangling flowers, this New Zealand coastal native is a creeping vine with tiny toothed round leaves, suitable for a hanging basket in a constantly warm, moist environment. The half-inch flowers, a botanical wonder, are upright cylindrical buff yellow tubes, which peel back into four green segments, revealing purple-black spots. A circle of bright red anthers are tipped with blue pollen. True flower petals are actually absent, with the outer perianth tube providing the color. The fruit is a red berry.
