  • Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: June to October

    Small, single, scarlet and dark purple flowers hang from arching stems from June to October among bronze tinted, dark green leaves. In frost-free areas this upright, hardy fuchsia makes a lovely, long-flowering, informal hedge. It performs best in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in partial shade with protection from cold, drying winds.

  • Garden care: To encourage bushy growth, pinch out the growing tips of young plants after the sixth or seventh pair of leaves. During the growing season water regularly, applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month. Cut back to the permanent framework in early spring.

  • Goes well with: Geranium 'Multibloom Pink', Geranium 'Multibloom Mixed', Nicotiana x sanderae 'Fragrant Cloud' , Trachelospermum jasminoides, Cerinthe major 'Purpurescens', Hemerocallis 'Gentle Shepherd'
