Fuchsias

I have fallen in love with the Parker's catalogue piccie of "Frank Saunders". Anyone grown it? Any info. would be useful,
thank you,

Sorry No Jenny I googled it and its stunning

 

So for a standard Scotkat , I can use any bush type fuchsia ? And as Joolz asked the three leaf are better - is a three leaf by type of fuchsia or just random ?

 

Ive spotted 3leaf on one of the stems my orange crush but to short to get another cutting yet
I remember finding a site that sold standard fuchsia so i might go in search for that aswell n see what varieties they are sellling harrys

 

Think just random Harry.

Fantastic Joolz

 

Does anyone have Hiedi Ann Fuchsia

 

Will have a look in Morrisons on the way home to see if they have a Heidi Ann (just on the off chance).

You've inspired me to want to take cuttings now but a) is it too late now? and b) how tall do the Fuchsias have to be before cuttings can be taken? (they are only ickle at the moment)

 

I have just bought thefuchsia called Lady in red and away to take many tip cuttings of it.
So if anyone would like me to grow on a cutting for them pm me.

When you get your new fuchsia normally on the stem I pinch out at the 3rd pair of leaves.

So you can get many tip cuttings .

And to get a good shape turn a quarterturn every day.

 

All my fuchsias have been out all day and now watered and back in greenhouse for protection as its now turned cold again.

 

Able to leave mine out now (in a sheltered, protected spot) and the Blueberry Fizz will be going out tomorrow. It's warming up here,

 

Mine have been out for a while now - "David", "Blackie", "Koralle" (a triphylla type) and F.thallia are all in bud.

Best of all, F.perscandens has survived!


Clearly only just, but it is alive!
