Description
Bright and breezy Fuchsia 'Checkerboard' has medium-sized single flowers. The tube is red while the sepals are red to white, and the corolla is a good red colour. This extremely free-flowering fuchsia has a vigorous, upright habit, starting early in the season and is a good subject for a standard. Reaches up to 35" (90 cm) tall.
Bred by Walker-Jones, USA in 1948.
- Plant out from late May all through the summer.
- Hardy once established.
- Suitable for potting on or, dependent on time of year, planting straight into the garden.
- Late autumn garden planting should be avoided as the plants will not have time to establish before the winter.
- If grown in containers and left outside all winter they may not prove fully hardy as container growing does not afford the same level of root protection as growing in the ground.
- In severe winters additional protection may be required for plants in the ground or left outside in containers. We suggest covering the plant with straw then inverting a large pot or bucket over it to provide further protection.
