black fusia

not as big as last year but still lovely

 

Kathy there is still time for it to grow some more maybe your getting too eager.:D Hel.xxx.

 

Helen its been flowering for about two months
I think maybe I brought it back to life too quickly.
also think it needs to be repotted,but was scared I would kill it
maybe after flowering this year,any suggestions?anyone xx Kathy

 

You wont kill it Kathy take lots of tip cuttings preferably off non flowering stems just pop them in water and they will grow roots,if all the stems have flowers or buds just nip them off so they don't take energy out of the cuttings the pot is big enough for now just give it a feed once a week.

 

It looks ok to me Kathy, if it is 'Blackie' an upright cultivar, it is known to be difficult to root from cuttings but when there is enough growth you could give it a try. Some Fuchsias are easy from cuttings some aren't. As Hel says, it is early days and has plenty of time to grow.

 

Give it some high Nitrogen food then it will grow more. Still early days yet with Fuchsias they come into their own about July.

Kathy I still have the fuchsia you gave me at start of summer .

 

Is this the one you have?
I just bought this one this past year and it has proved to be quite beautiful
Just can't recall the name at the moment though

 

It's a difficult one to spell... it took me ages to learn!.... named after a German bloke, Herr Fuchs... thus Fuchsia

And Mr Buddle, gave his name to Buddleia

<< ching >> the penny drops !

 

Roesse Blacky Sam.

 

Thats it a real stunner she is well was resting for now

 

I wondered if you can apply the same naming logic to 'Silybum'

 

I now remember that the one I bought was called 'Voodoo'

 

Voodoo a really nice fuchsia also Whis4ey wasa way to call you Whisky and have a very good whisky cake recipe.

 

Voodoo isn't black Sam the one in your picture is roesse.
