Product description
Fuchsia Skyrocket is a deciduous shrub with dark green foliage that nicely complements the plant's bicoloured flowers. This is its most striking, attractive feature: bearing a stunning array of red and white blossoms from June to October - a generously long flowering period. It is accompanied by dangling pink buds from the centre of each bloom, allowing it to make a noticeable impact in pots, containers, plant displays and more. Over time, the plant will grow to an ultimate height of 1.5m and spread of 0.9m.
Fuchsia can be cared for with very little fuss. It prefers full sun or partial shade when choosing an area to place it in. It'll tolerate most soil types with good drainage, provided you keep the soil moist and don't allow it to dry out. Water regularly, especially as the plant establishes itself in the first year of growth.

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.
