FUCHSIA'S - 2015

Good Morning @Anthony Rogers, I bet you thought I had forgotten...

This is the fuchsia I was talking about which was in the middle of a very overgrown area of the garden it 'was' roughly 8' high, sorry the photo's aren't of great standard but at least it gives idea of colour and size and as you can see it must have been struggling

When I cleared the area out the poor thing was being strangled by ivy and some other menacing creeping plant. Due to it having very little light it was extremely leggy with no growth what so ever below its head peeping over everything....

 

Hi Apple Blossom,

I was beginning to wonder Lol

Yours is an easy one

It's. " Whiteknights Pearl "

Hardy to -10 deg, a fairly recent British introduction ( in Fuchsia terms ) from 1980, which has won the RHS Award Of Garden Merit.

Regular height given as 3' plus, but as you've found out can make a large bush upto 6'.

Sorry for late reply Anthony.... sailing all weekend....thanks for the info, I've had to crop it right down with the hope that it will have a better chance next year and it now has more light

 

My Paula Jane, growing to standards or clouds.

 

Not the best pic
Fuchsia boliviana alba

 

Nice one Mowgley
How old is it ? I haven't had any flowers on mine and I was wondering if it's because it's too young, as a lot of Species don't flower until their second year.
PS.... Is it a Boliviana or a Boliviana Luxurians as a true Boliviana Alba us a rarity in th UK.

 

Love the standards Pamsdish they look lovely, I'm having a go myself this year so hoping for some success

Hi Freddy,
That is absolutely stunning. You've beaten me this year. We've just not had Fuchsia weather around here, too hot and not enough rain.
