FUCHSIA Garden News

FUCHSIA Garden News is a compact bush fuchsia valued for its long flowering display from early summer into autumn in Ireland. Grow in sun or light shade in moistureretentive, welldrained, moderately fertile soil; it suits containers, seasonal bedding, or a warm, sheltered border. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and keep evenly moist in dry spells; provide shelter from cold winds and protect plants from frost, overwintering under cover where necessary.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
