Epilobium canum, commonly known as California fuchsia, is a resilient perennial subshrub native to the western United States. It is celebrated for its profusion of brilliant scarlet, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom from late summer through autumn, providing a critical nectar source for migrating hummingbirds. The plant features narrow, gray-green to silvery foliage and a spreading growth habit, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, slopes, or as a drought-tolerant groundcover.
