Fuchsias

I notice Fuchsia 'george bartlett' was showing new leaf buds today.. the entire plant has survived too, without being cut down to ground level.. RHS recommends President George Bartlett should be overwintered under glass.. with a hardiness rating of H2.. well that's been well and truly rubbished!

 

Wonderful news Steve may need to ask nicely for a cutting

 

A little bit of cheer - Fuchsia 'Shauna Lindsay' has produced one flower on my kitchen windowsill, an exquisite little flower

 

I am in the process of adding to my Fuchsia collection, but I am needing an explanation of terms, Lax, Bushy, Upright etc. I previously only bought ,Trailer or bushy, now the different definitions are getting me confused.

 

Also i am looking for a good website for info ,but I have to trawl several and you need to know if hardy or another detail, which is what I am looking for !!!

 

That's beautiful Bilbo.

 

Is this any good to you..http://www.fuchsiamagic.com/fuchsias/findex.htm

 

Wow, that's a good site Joolz. So many Fuchsias. Never knew there were that many, I like Devonshire Dumpling, Jenny

 

Perfect Joolz thanks, had that site before and lost it when I changed comp.

 

Ive never managed to view them all jen,it would take hrs its handy if you just want to look for hardys etc but then if you like one you have to try and find a seller x

 

Here's another site Pam; http://www.otherfellow.co.uk/, not so much in the way of explanations of different types but plenty to look at (some unusual ones too) and good prices too as you're buying young plants/rooted cuttings

 

Finally got around to placing my order! Got some Salvias too.

 

I darnt order,i want the black night &mulberry jam salvia plus a few more ive got a black&blue i purchased late last yr crammed in the gh ..no room at the inn at mo

 

Joolz - having seen S.confertiflora many times at OBG I can thoroughly recommend it too!

 

Well....i am shocked that there are no new pictures in this thread Gotta say that this is a first time
