Description

A summer garden isn't complete with fuchsias, and this stunning fuchsia tree will make a superb addition to your floral displays. The tall stem on this tree has been skilfully grown over the last winter, to get a head start this season where it will fill your garden with gorgeous green foliage and classic pink blooms. An ideal plant for growing in a large patio pot or as in the centre of a mixed border. Pruning is simple and you can easily make this fuchsia tree a standard lollipop shape, just remove the lower branches on the main stem. Delivered as an established plant, approx. 65-80cm tall in a 19cm pot. (Please note early season deliveries will be towards bottom end of this spec).

Top Tips

Needs to be tied in and pinched back to keep the plant in the desired shape.

Care Information

Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil, with shelter from the wind. In containers, use a John Innes No 3 based compost.
When planting in the ground, plant the base of the stem 5cm below the soil surface and provide a deep winter mulch and shelter from the wind. Water fuchsia plants sufficiently to keep the compost moist but not waterlogged and do not leave plants standing in water.
Fuchsias prefer shade for the hottest part of the day.
Standard fuchsias should always be brought under cover for winter as the main stem is prone to frost damage. If grown in the garden, dig up plants and pot up before moving under cover.
A balanced, liquid fertiliser used in summer encourages better blooms over a long flowering period.
When in active growth, you can pinch out tips to increase the potential number of blooms, although this will delay actual flowering - flowers usually open six to eight weeks after you finish stopping.
