    Can anybody help me please?

    I am trying to find a fuschia called 'Jack Stanway'. It was named after my fiance's father, following his sudden and untimely death 20 years ago. We are planning our wedding and I would love to be able to buy some for my fiance and his Mum, but I dont know how to find a supplier as my Internet searches have been unsuccessful.

    Thank you for any assistance
    Sue

    If you can't find it on the internet, then I would suggest the UK Fuchsia society. Sorry but my memberships lapsed - but they know the specialist growers, and one of them may have this it its still cultivated - or may be able to find a member that has it.

    Sue,

    I have just come back from my local fuchsia house, and they do stock 'Jack Stanway', best to give them a call on (01702) 589248 the business is called, 'House of Fuchsia'.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Sue

    This is a list of phone numbers that may stock "Jack Stanway"

    Hope it help

    01271 882539
    01492 640548
    01480 213506
    0161 282 7434
    01270 625795
    01543 422394
    01202 813998

    Some offer a postal service, it is a little late this year for Fuchsias, if you do not have any luck I have some more numbers of growers that stock this species.

    Sue
