Product description
Fuchsia Trailing Dark Eyes is a deciduous plant that will create an impressive cascading basket display all season long. An abundance of single flowers appears in late spring and lasts all the way through to late autumn, when the temperature drops and the first frosts appear. The frilly flowers bloom upwards and outwards, creating an exciting burst of colour.
These plants are particularly well suited to growing in baskets, containers and window boxes. They thrive in moist but well drained soil and tolerate most soil types. Once you’ve planted your basket, hang it in a spot that enjoys full sun or partial shade and water regularly. Be sure to deadhead any faded blooms to encourage bushy regrowth and a longer flowering season.

Instructions
Top Tip
Pinch back growing tips early in the season to encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Regularly deadhead faded blooms to prolong flowering and keep the display looking vibrant right through summer and into early autumn.
How to Water
Keep compost consistently moist but not soggy, watering more frequently during hot or windy weather. Fuchsias dislike drying out but also suffer in waterlogged soil, so ensure good drainage. Water at the base to avoid splashing delicate blooms and foliage.
How to Plant
Plant Fuchsia basket varieties in rich, free-draining compost and place in a spot with partial shade or dappled sunlight. These trailing or upright forms are ideal for hanging baskets and containers, where their elegant, bell-shaped flowers can be displayed to full effect.
