How to care for Fuchsia Army Nurse:
Although classed as a bush variety, 'Army Nurse', can have a slightly trailing habit. To encourage more upright 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. In spring, prune the previous year's flowering stems to within one or two buds of the older woody framework and remove thin, weak or dead growth.
Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
