Description
This gorgeous free-flowering fuchsia brings a splash of colour to your garden. Fuchsia 'Rufus' has medium-sized single flowers, the tube, sepals and corolla of which are a bright turkey red. You won't be able to miss it. Its strong, upright, self-branching habit means it will reach a height of 36 - 48" (90 - 120 cm). It is also a good subject for turning into a standard. Reaches approximately 30" (75 cm) tall.
Bred by George Felton from Birmingham, UK in 1868.
- 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.
