North Atlantic Current
Due to the favorably mild, temperate climate created by the North Atlantic Current fuchsias grow abundantly in the West Kerry region of Ireland and in the Isles of Scilly, even colonising wild areas there. While "F. magellanica" is not widespread in Scotland it has been known to grow wild in sheltered areas, such as the banks of local streams in Fife. In the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, "F. magellanica" also easily survives regional winters.
