Fuchsia glazioviana, or Glaziou's fuchsia, is a shrub from high-altitude cloud forest edges in southeast Brazil, grown for its hanging red and purple flowers. It is a hardy garden plant with an RHS Award of Garden Merit, best kept cool and moist with some shade from hot afternoon sun.
Fuchsia glazioviana, called Glaziou's fuchsia, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Fuchsia, native to southeast Brazil. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Fuchsia glazioviana is locally endemic to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, specifically on mountains near Santa Maria Madalena and Nova Friburgo, at altitudes ranging from 1,500 to 2,100 meters (4,900 to 6,900 ft). It is known from only two mountains in the Serra do Mar of Rio de Janeiro, where it grows in open campo above the treeline, extending from upper cloud forest. It grows alongside Fuchsia regia subsp. regia on Morro da Nova Caledonia, with the two species hybridizing locally.
The small, dark, oblong fruit is edible and has a mild, sweet flavor.
