A bushy, upright deciduous shrub, Fuchsia ‘Dollar Prinzessin’ has waxy cerise-crimson sepals that recurve away from the deep purple petals, veined red, beneath.
This popular, double-flowering fuchsia, makes an attractive specimen for border edges or patio pots. Alternatively, given time and a little formative pruning, it can be grown on to create a glorious, miniature, tree-like standard.
A fabulous addition to shadier areas, combine it with Begonia ‘Pink Giant’ and enjoy a long-lasting display that won't scrimp on colour.

To encourage growth, pinch out the growing tips of young plants after the sixth or seventh pair of leaves. During the growing season water regularly, and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each month. Protect plants from frost with horticultural fleece and a thick organic mulch to protect the roots. Once established, in early to mid-spring cut back the previous year's flowering stems to within one or two buds of the older woody framework.
