Fuchsia's

Have grown Fuchsia's for many years & this has been the worst year i've ever had with them,keeping off about six the rest have been very poor.

 

Strange, Gogs as I would have thought the cool wetish summer would have favoured fuchsias.
They tend to get red spider most years down here and stop flowering in mid summer.

 

Hi Gogs,

Have got three climbing Fuchsia's new in this year. They are quite robust looking and healthy but slow to grow. My first experience with Fuchsia's of any type.

Pete,

I have some Provado bug spray, if red spider attacks mine will it be ok to use on them? I have only been using it on the Roses so far.

 

What a strange Summer. My Fushias have been the best ever. Both those in pots and the ones in the ground. ag. you're O.K. to use Provado (ultimate bug-killer) on the Fuschias. That's what I use and it hasn't hurt them yet

 

Thanks Cajary,

It is good stuff that Provado :D

 

Sorry to hear about your poor show with regard to your fuchsia's Gogs :( ....like the other guys mine have done very well, better luck next year.
Helen.xxx.

 

Mine have been hit by rust this year. Not done too well at all

 

mine have been wonderful, grown about 3 different types. I've even managed to take 6 cuttings from my dads fuscia bush (a hardy one) and they are currently budding, looking very happy after initially looking very sad!

 

The last plant my Dad put in my garden was a fuchsia. Not very big, not very exciting, but it was nearly 30 years ago. Earlier this year, I dug it up by accident. Very sad. Thanks for this thread. It made me go and have a look at where it was. AND.....



Sorry about the grass, no reason to weed until the cerinthe died down. (The other plant is a cerinthe).

 

Hi John,

Glad you found the Fuchsia :D , my neighbour has a 10year old bush out front and it is HUGE, absolutely beautiful. My hubbys favourite plant the Fuchsia

 

I have had a good display of Fuchsias this summer even the variegated trichophylla 'Fire Cracker' has excelled even in full sun.

Sarraceniac, yours looks like 'Genie'.

 

Fuchsia "Kath Van Hanegem " just got this one ,it's a beauty.

 

Gogs, Truly a beautiful specimin thanks for sharing it with us

 

Thanks Strongylodon. As I said it isn't a very exciting plant, but it is nostalgic, really glad it came back.

Gogs, that Kath Van Hagen is beautiful.

 

Oops,i always thought the name of this fuchsia was that too John ,i done a search thingy & it came up with the Hanegem name ,i think they must have got it wrong unless there are both types.Would be grateful if anyone can tell me ...many thanks
