Fuschia Lady Boothby

Hi FC

You need to train them up the fence a piece of trellis then you tie them in as they grow , to be honest not that easy to keep alive out side over the winter most years all the stems die back to the ground, then hopfully ?? new stems appear in the spring better in a v large pot with canes in then keep in a frost free greenhouse over winter , my mum had one before she moved , but it was protected on one side by a very large bay tree very free draining soil, its never produced that many flowers , I find it one of those "novilty plants" that gets lots of hype like the yellow greanium a couple of years ago and that was aload of old rubbish as well

Spruce

 

Spruce is so right - it is a lot of hype for what is simply a tall growing Fuchsia. It is in no way a climbing plant at all. I've never had any trouble getting it through the winter outdoors, but it is late to get going again (and even then only from the base). It will bloom better if you nip out every other side shoot.
To be honest, there are far better Fuchsias, and far better climbing plants.
F.magellanica will grow to a good height and spread to cover any fence over a few seasons.

 

They should - it is one of the most common, if not the most common, hardy Fuchsia.

 

You could still put them in planters/trough next to it if you have the space? Alternatively put some climbing plants in planters to climb through the holes?
