These I have in my garden and have proved them to be very reliable ...

Delta's Sarah
Dollar Princess
Lena
Lady Thumb
Son of Thumb
Margaret (grows very tall)
Lechlade Magician (grows very tall)
Mrs Popple
Genii
Army Nurse
Beacon
General Monk

and another two I can't remember the names of ... I'll look them up and let you know.

 

Ah ! That's right ... one of them is Chillerton Beauty and the other one is Heidi Ann

 

Used to grow many of those and found them all easy and hardy.
hardy ones are designated H3 on lists in catalogues.
Also F. magellanica and F. M. alba are both hardy (evergreen here too).

Hardy , depending on what neck of the woods you live @Spruce and what height and colours you are looking for ?

The main ones we keep going in the ground are -

Mrs. Popple typically up to 3-4ft even in full shade, very hardy, masses of flowers.

Lady Boothby up to 8ft semi shade and been hardy for the last few years.

Garden News up to 2ft, bright coloured double, seems to be more semi trailing at times,

 

Would be really helpful to know which area of the country you are gardening in ! .
I have these in my garden and all do well :

Genii
Winston Churchill
Beacon
Tom Thumb
Display
Tennessee waltz
Brutus
Lambada

Your border sounds ideal for fuchsias !

 

I have Genii and low-growing Sunray here, both completely hardy. Also Fuchsia microphylla which is meant to be frost-tender, but that is the one which is still happily growing and flowering away in the border right now, while the other two have dropped their leaves. I did take some cuttings for safety though!

In the past I also grew Mrs Popple and Hawkshead and a magellanica variegata tricolor, but lost those to fuchsia gall mite, a nasty pest which is a growing problem in the South of England. I tried cutting the affected bits out and pruning back hard in winter, but it proved impossible to get rid of, so in the end I just had to take those ones out - the magellanica varieties are said to be especially susceptible to the mite.

 

South Wales

thank you

 

I wanted the taller variety I used to grow Dr Foster , so I will see if I can get hold off that. Colours anything with white in as the border will be shaded help show it off better. Just want a shot of colour as the base of the border I have hosta and ferns

 

Thanks everyone very useful
