Fuchsia microphylla, also known as small leaf fuchsia, is a flowering shrub in the Onagraceae family. It is native to southern Mexico to Panama and grows up to 1.8 meters in height. The plant has small leaves, which gave it its specific epithet (microphylla). It is a deciduous to semi-evergreen shrub that blooms from September to October and attracts wildlife. It grows well in various soil types and prefers moist, well-drained conditions. The plant is edible, with dark, round fruits that have a sweet but mild flavor. It is commonly grown as an ornamental plant and is vulnerable to various pests, including whiteflies and aphids. Fuchsia microphylla is also known to hybridize with other fuchsia species, such as Fuchsia thymifolia.
