From:Duluth, MN Region: Midwest Topic: Non-Natives Title: Can
berries of non-native Fuchsia plant be eaten from Duluth MN
Answered by: Barbara Medford Are the berries of the Fuschia
plant edible? There are a number of plants with "fuchsia" (and
yes, this is the correct spelling, it's named after a man named
Fuchs) in their name, but two species seem to be most common:
Fuchsia magellanica, hardy fuchsia, and Fuchsia paniculata. The
first is native to South America and the second to Central
Mexico and South America. At the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower
Center, our expertise is exclusively plants native not only to
North America but to the area in which they are being grown.
Most probably you are referring to Fuchsia paniculata, which is
usually used as a house plant. We found a website from the San
Francisco Botanical Gardens on Fuchsia paniculata which may help
answer your question. More Non-Natives Questions Common name of
