fuschia seeds

Hi everyone I'm new to this I have a question if anyone knows. This year I gathered some seed pods from my fuschia's when will it be best to sow them and how to keep them,

Many thanks
Denis

 

Denis I gently squash them on kitchen roll to seperate the skin and absorb the pulp then wash them in a fine sieve, dry them in the warm then store them in an airtight container,if you have a propagator you could plant them now at 60-65f give them plenty of light as they grow.

Hi Walnut sorry for the misspelling cf your name I noticed I had it wrong when I posted the reply.

Hi Denis, welcome to GC. I think growing from seed is always a much more satisfying method than cuttings, plus the fact you mey not get what you expect from the seed. In a few months you can post pics of the new 'Denis' fuchsia!

 

Hi Denis, and welcome to the forum, enjoy.

 

Hi to all,
Thanks for the welcome it always feels a bit strange when you first join a club but its great when when people welcome you into the fold.

Thanks again
Denis

hi Denis like Helen i also welcome you
and looking forward to seeing the outcome of your fuchsia

 

Hi Denis I too like Helen and Kathy welcome you.

I will be following thsi post of your fuchsia seed growing .

A few years ago I tryed drying fuchsia seed pods and yes they germinated for me ,but only got two leaves of the new fuchsia then they sadly passed away.

I must have done something wrong.

I must see if I still have the photos as I took step by step photos.

Looking forward to the next fuchsia update Kath

 

Good morning Denis. Welcome to GC.

 

Hi to all,
I intend to put some photo's on the system when I have learned to build a web site this I intend to do over the next few weeks,
I've had to work this last three day's so nothing has got done I'm usually knackered after a couple of days but I soon recover. Shopping in the morning, maybe I'll be able to buy a book on web building then I'll be able to show my garden in full bloom.
Best wishes to all
Denis

 

Hi Dennis looking forward to seeing your garden in bloom over the coming season.
