Description
A pretty fuchsia, with medium-sized semi-double flowers, the tube and sepals of which are pale flesh pink, while the corolla is a contrasting rosy magenta. Fuchsia 'Lena' has vigorous, bushy, lax, trailing growth so can be suitable for hanging baskets.
Reaches a height of 18" (45 cm).
Lena was registered in the 1920s but very little is known about it's heritage.
- 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.
