What type? A lot of fuschias prefer cooler enivronments.

Good question! And I am in Calaveras County about an hour and a half from Sac. Same summer temps, but we are colder in the winter.

The fuschia I just got today is labeled Winston Churchill, if that helps.

No.Fuschias hate high summer temps and will cease to flower. Growths will become lax and limp and you will have difficulty blooming it again. Stick to Geraniums.

I brought back a pot of Purple/red fuschia from a trip, the mother plant didn't make it but I took a cutting which is surviving under 30C temperature although it's growing quite slow. Just 2 days ago I pinched the growing tip and use it to propagate another plant.
