Plant description
Variegated cream, green and red-flushed foliage, acts as a backdrop to the slender reddish pink buds, which open to reveal a plush purple corolla. Usually flowering non-stop from June to October, Fuchsia 'Sunray' is a showy addition to the front of the border, and will also look great when potted on the patio.

How to care for Fuchsia Sunray:
For border planting, choose a sunny sheltered spot. Dig a hole twice the size of the rootball, scatter some mycorrhizal fungi on the roots and mix some well-rotted compost into the excavated soil and backfill.
For best results in containers, pot up using a good quality potting compost or or loam-based compost ensuring good drainage.
Fuschias require regular watering to aid establishment and during active growth. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each month.
Border plants benefit from mulching in winter for cold temperature protection. Prune in spring to maintain form and to encourage new growth.
Pot grown plants should be overwintered in a sheltered or frost-free spot, while those growing in borders will benefit from winter protection such as horticultural fleece.

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