Description
Fuchsia 'Magellanica' var. Gracilis Variegata has the same characteristic small, single flowers as other Magellanica fuchsias, the tube and sepals being red while the corolla is deep purple. What makes this fuchsia really stand out is the gorgeous variegated pink, silver and green foliage. Add to that its upright bushy habit along with it being very free flowering, and it's a winner in any garden.
This fuchsia reaches a height of 48 - 60" (120 - 180 cm) and makes a glorious hedge.
This variety was first registered in the UK in 1872, but little else is known of 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.
