Genus of about 100 species of deciduous or evergreen trees and shrubs, and a few perennials, from mountainous areas of Central and South America and New Zealand. There are more than 8,000 hybrids and cultivars. Fuchsia is a good plant for a hanging pot. In the house they need bright light but outside provide some shade.
