Description

This beautiful fuchsia has lovely small, single red flower with purple corolla. It quick to grow, reaching 8 feet (2.5 metres) tall (but can be kept smaller) and is stunning and very hardy.

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.
Prefers dapple shade in a sheltered position.
Likes free draining soil.
