Fuchsia campos-portoi is a small Brazilian shrub or scrambling subshrub from high rocky mountain slopes. It grows best in a cool, bright, well-drained spot and tolerates frost better than most fuchsias.
Fuchsia campos-portoi is a plant of the genus Fuchsia native to Brazil.
Fuchsia campos-portoi is native to the campos rupestres habitat of the Itatiaia mountain massif, located on the border of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at elevations ranging from 2,100 to 2,550 meters found growing among rocks. Fuchsia campos-portoi is found in shrubby patches or open, rocky sites, often experiencing winter frosts. It typically grows alongside Fuchsia regia subsp. regia, where several intermediate hybrids between the two species have been discovered.
