What is a fuchsia?

Fuchsias are shade-loving garden plants, which produce beautiful "ballerina-like" flowers in a variety of colours. Most are perennial bushes but some grow into small trees.

Flowering Period

Fuchsias are summer-flowering plants, beginning in mid-October with some varieties continuing to flower through to March/April. When you order our fuchsia plants outside of these months, they may not be in bloom.

Growing Conditions

Fuchsias thrive in cool, sheltered locations with dappled shade. There are a few varieties that can take sun, however, as a rule of thumb they are shade-loving plants. They require rich, moist, slightly acidic, and well-drained soil. Regular watering, especially in summer, is crucial, particularly for potted plants. They do not do well in the sea air!

Flower Colours

Sepals are the outer, leaf-like structures that protect the flower bud, while the corolla is the inner, often brightly coloured part of the flower, made up of the petals. Both the sepal and corolla colours are indicated in the description of our fuchsias.
