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.
