This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

It's done pretty well in a container in the teeth of Mendip winter frosts. Bit of die-back but has recovered well and now looking happy and flowering despite dismal summer rain. A delicate beauty rather than a blowsy stunner.

I am new to gardening, so no experience, but i did prepare the ground well for this plant adding soil to a completely barren front garden in a new build property. This plant has been great. Survived a hot summer and harsh winter, loads of flowers, and lots of new growth. Very happy.

Easy to grow. Elegant, pure white flowers. Long flowering period.

The fuchsia plant was very healthy when it arrived. I was planting up a shaded balcony, hoping the white flowers would brighten it up. The plant died within a couple of months, but on a sunny patio I am sure it would have thrived beautifully. I am still learning from the phrase "right place right plant".

Unfortunately the icy and salt-laden winds here have caused damage this winter and we do not know whether it has survived, but if not we will replace it with the same variety.

These plants are not quite fully hardy, so if your garden is particularly cold and exposed, then it may not be suitable.

Hello there This plant has white flowers with a subtle trace of green on the tips. Sorry we don't sell a pure white form.

Hello Kathryn, I'm afraid the conditions you describe are far from ideal, so you will struggle to get something to grow - especially something that is not too tough and vigorous. I would consider using the climbing Hydrangea as although it will eventually get quite big it is quite slow getting started. Alternatively opt for a flowering shrub like a hardier Fuchsia. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Hello Irene, In really cold areas, this should be trimmed now by cutting all the stems back by a third, but in milder areas, you should wait until the new growth is emerging in spring. It may tolerate a harder prune in spring, however it can be risky and you may lose it. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Hello Ruth, Honeybees love most of the Fuchsias, so they make an excellent choice for a shadier bed.

Many flowering plants can be encouraged to produce better and longer-lasting displays with the minimum of effort. A plant produces flowers in order to reproduce and ensure the survival of the species. Once a plant has flowered and fertilisation has taken

Tender perennials, such as pelargoniums, fuchsias, osteospermums and marguerites look great all summer, but unless they are given protection from the harsh winter weather, they will need to be replaced each spring. If you can do this, they will last for y

When we are all, hopefully, enjoying the hotter more humid days in July and the longer evenings there is a different range of plants that come into their own in our gardens, ones found naturally close to the equator or in the upper reaches of the Souther

You can never quite predict how severe our winter weather will be. In the absence of a crystal ball, it is best in October to make contingency plans to help your plants to survive while there will still be some warmth in the sun and the soil. Hardiness is
