Growing Fuchsias

Fuchsia

Fuchsias are amongst the most popular of all bedding plants. There are hundreds of different types in a wonderful range of colours. Some trail, while others make superb bushes, and most spectacular of all are the tree shaped standards trained on a single tall stem.

The dangling flowers, especially in the double forms are very glamorous and look particularly lovely against a haze of white or blue lobelia.

They dislike hot scorching sun and are happiest in slightly shaded spots. Morning sun is fine but the really hot afternoon blaze can cause problems.

Taking cuttings is a good investment as they are one of the more expensive bedding plants. Start them off in a shaded spot and once they begin to grow strongly move them to a lighter position.
