Fuscia "thalia"

 

Hi Snorky,

Definitely a Fuchsia Triphylla hybrid.
Doesn't look orange enough for " Thalia ". Will have a look when I go home and post later.

 

Thanks everyone, appreciated as always.

Hee hee-not guilty-the old owners had left it down the side of the greenhouse and I just found it when sorting out a new cold frame
Exciting!

 

Could be Fuchsia triphylla Koralle or Gartenmeister Bonstedt.

 

Well i've had this for 30yrs or so and its always been Thalia to me

 

I'd say " Koralle " .

@pete , if you look closely the buds on Snorkys are a Salmon pink colour, not orangey red.

 

You must have a better definition on your screen than I have Anthony

 

Yep, a Dulux one.

 

Well its a brown colour now....bleedin frost got it yesterday! So annoyed with myself.

 

Hi Snorky,

If it's only been frosted once and taken the foliage then you should be alright to pot it up and keep it somewhere frost-free over the Winter.

Take all the leaves off, cut it back by about a third and pot it into the smallest pot you can get it into. Water it in and put it somewhere frost free, ideally for this type of Fuchsia you're aiming for somewhere between 5 and 10 degrees, any higher and you'll have to make sure its in a really bright place with plenty of sunlight.

 

Thanks Anthony! Just moved it into my grreenhouse that': about 10c. Got a heater in there to keep the frost away. On closer inspection it doesn't look to bad. I'll get it tidied up over the weekend so hopefully it will be ok
