Description
Fuchsia 'Hemsleyana' has tiny single flowers, the tube, sepals and corolla of which are all purplish rose. It's free-flowering, with a bushy upright habit, and reaches a height of 36 - 48" (90 - 120 cm).
The botanist Breedlove first described this variety in 1969. It is commonly found in evergreen forests of volcanos!
- 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.
