Fuschia with colourful foliage

Hi Lazydog,
Riccartonii is a fast growing bush so yep i would say 3 seasons should give you a decent hedge, and glad for once i got something right .
Any other fuchsia advice let me know i'm glad to help.

Hi Lazydog

Could be Ricatoni thats the one they use to grow into hedges.

If you want any cuttings you are welcome to pay me a visit and pick your own.

Only a few miles away in Willenhall.

Lazydog, the " hedge type " is F. magellanica and should be readily available in your local garden centre. Bob, if you are getting paid for cuttings, you are NOT an amateur, you are a professional.

 

Dai.
If you took the time to ask me what i ask for cuttings, you would have found i only ask the price of the post, so if that makes me a professional so be it.
Twice now you have promoted F Magellanica in this thread even after one looks like the answer was Sunray, and yes Ricartonii is a variant of Magellanica which according to George Bartlett's Guide of fuchsias, he names 18 variants.
So after your last post, i feel that i'm not needed in this forum so will not take part in any more, which is a shame as i was getting a lot of enjoyment out of it.
So Thanks
Bob

 

Bob please dont disappear as a new comer i have gained a lot of info from your posts.

 

Bob, you can have my user name for a few cuttings of Devonshire Dumpling.

 

Bob, don`t be so sensitive.
