        Would love one of each please if they are still if they are still available? Will PM you my address :)

        I can let you have plug plants in the form of Pink Galore and Southgate if that's of interest as I have a spare of each? PM me your address if you want them. I have received some plug plants today so can use the special packaging to send the plug plants to you :blue thumb:

          I found this site which is very helpful and gives lots of information (with photos each step of the way) for taking cuttings, overwintering, growing standards, etc.

          For the 'next' page click on the red button at the bottom of each page.

            Very interesting but knew with having been a member of a fuchsia society for a number of yrs and learnerd a lot.

            But we are always learning new ways too.

            Thanks A

            At last!!! I have trawled through about 300 miscellaneous photos ( which were not properly filed or named) but eventually found it !! PLEASE can you identify this fuchsia? it is hardy - coming back to life in a challenging spot in the front, north facing wet corner and it has particularly nice memories for me. I grew it from a young healthy cutting and managed to give about 3 to others. I hope to get some more to give to a couple of nice GC fuchsiaphiles and do love to label my plants.
            thank you,

              It's very pretty Jenny (but no idea what it is sorry).

              I bought some more plug plants from Morrisons - Winston Churchill and Dollar Princess.
