Description
The Fuchsia is an elegant shade-loving beauty among potted plants: from May to October its dancing, often two-toned blooms hang like little ballerinas in red, violet, pink, and white on the stems. It loves cool, moist partial shade and is a valued food source for bumblebees. As a hanging, shrub, or upright plant it brings delicate grace to any shaded terrace.
Care instructions
Place it in a cool, partially shaded, wind‑protected spot and keep the soil evenly moist—dryness and harsh midday sun cause buds to drop. Water in the morning and, on hot days, also in the evening. Fertilize every two weeks. Remove faded flowers and small seed pods to extend the flowering period. For overwintering, prune in October, keep it in a bright, frost‑free location at about 5–8 °C so it will re‑sprout in spring.
