This delightful plant showcases stunning blooms characterized by rich carmine-pink sepals that beautifully contrast with a pristine white corolla. Its long blooming season, which extends from late spring until the first frosts, ensures that your garden remains lively and colorful for an extended period.
The plant's compact, bushy growth habit is complemented by its tidy mid-green foliage, which provides an attractive backdrop for its striking flowers.

Its versatility allows gardeners to incorporate it into a range of settings, adding a splash of color wherever it is placed.

Growing Information
Pot up fuchsias using well drained compost such as John Innes No.3, and grow on in warm, frost-free conditions. Pinch out the growing tips while fuchsia plants are still small to promote bushier growth and more flowers. When plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a 7 to 10 day period, before planting them in their final positions in patio containers and sunny or semi shaded borders.
