Product description
Fuchsia ‘Cloverdale Pearl’ are small, compact deciduous shrubs that bloom beautiful white and pink hanging flowers, from spring until autumn. These hardy Fuchsia are known for the striking flower colours as seen in their white short tubes, attractive pink sepals and white corollas.
Cloverdale Pearl bears mid-green, toothed leaves that create a pleasing contrast for the delicate creamy white and pink single flowers. This passion of blooming flowers for long seasons is loved by bees and hummingbirds.
Fuchsia will thrive in full sunlight in colder regions and partial shade in hotter ones. They need protection against cold dry winds, so plant them best at a sheltered spot in well-drained moist soil. These plants are not tolerant to drought, so regular watering is required in dry seasons.
In winters, they will need a layer of mulch to shelter the base from frost. Prune Fuchsia in spring to remove any damaged or weak stems. Adding a general-purpose fertiliser will help the young plants establish their root system.
Fuchsia Cloverdale Pearl puts on a show of such impressive colours, that will turn a boring patio into a blissful one. It is perfect for low-hedging or bedding schemes.
Use them in borders and watch how beautiful hummingbirds relish the nectar of their dazzling flowers with pleasure.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Fuchsias thrive in cooler temperatures and partial shade. Avoid placing them in full sun, which can scorch their delicate leaves.
How to Water
Water Fuchsia regularly to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. During hot weather, they may need extra water. Be cautious of overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage to prevent standing water around the roots.
How to Plant
Plant Fuchsia in well-draining, slightly acidic soil in a partially shaded spot. Dig a hole large enough for the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil, ensuring the crown is level with the surface. Space plants 30-45cm apart for air circulation.
