Fuchsia Procumbens

This is one of NZ's feature ground covers. It is endemic to coastal regions of Northland and is quite rare in the wild but common in cultivation. It is hardy in all frost free places. The flowers are small but very attractive. The crimson berries are another notable feature.
Easy to grow from seed. Sow on a fine seed raising mix. germination should proceed within a month.
If you wish to learn more about native plants I suggest one of these natural history books from fishpond
