Was selected by Marshall Olbrich whose nursery Beth had visited near San Francisco. It was selected for its particularly ashen leaves which became almost white in very dry conditions, setting off bright scarlet trumpets in autumn. Again full sun and a well drained soil are essential. Synonym Zauschneria californica 'Olbrich Silver'
Epilobium canum 'Olbrich Silver'
Californian fuchsia, hummingbird trumpet
