Marin Pink California Fuchsia (Epilobium canum 'Marin Pink') is a delightful California native perennial that delivers a spectacular late-season floral performance precisely when most other garden plants are fading. Slender, tubular flowers in soft, warm pink bloom prolifically from midsummer through fall, smothering the plant's silvery-gray foliage in a cloud of hummingbird-irresistible color. As a Marin County coastal provenance selection, 'Marin Pink' is particularly well-adapted to California garden conditions, offering reliable performance in both coastal and inland settings.

Cultivated from Professional Grade root systems, Marin Pink California Fuchsia is a cornerstone plant for water-wise California native, habitat, and Mediterranean-style garden designs. Its sprawling, spreading habit makes it invaluable as a groundcover on dry slopes, a cascading accent over retaining walls, and a weed-suppressing filler in dry garden beds. It thrives on minimal summer water once established and pairs beautifully with Salvia, Artemisia, Penstemon, and ornamental grasses in low-water naturalistic plantings.

Why You'll Love It

  • Premier Hummingbird Magnet: Abundant soft pink tubular flowers are one of the most important late-season hummingbird nectar sources in the California garden — a critical late-summer and fall food source for migrating and resident Anna's hummingbirds.
  • Spectacular Late-Season Color: Blooms midsummer through hard frost, delivering vivid floral color and wildlife energy precisely when most other perennials have finished — an irreplaceable gap-filler in the seasonal garden calendar.
  • Exceptional Drought Tolerance: A true California native that thrives on minimal to no summer irrigation once established in well-drained soil — an essential plant for drought-resilient and water-wise landscape designs.
  • Silver-Gray Foliage Appeal: Attractive silvery-gray foliage provides cool-toned color and soft texture throughout the season, creating a beautiful contrast backdrop for the vivid pink blooms.
  • Groundcover & Slope Stabilizer: Spreading habit suppresses weeds naturally and stabilizes dry slopes, embankments, and retaining wall edges with attractive, low-maintenance native coverage.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to light shade in fast-draining, low-fertility soil — excellent drainage and dry summer conditions are essential for best performance. Water sparingly to establish during the first season, then transition to a dry summer regime consistent with California native growing requirements. Best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 7–10; native to coastal and foothill California. Mature height: 12–24 inches; spread: 24–36 inches. Blooms midsummer through frost. Cut back hard to the ground in late winter before new growth emerges to rejuvenate the plant and maintain a tidy, vigorous habit.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
