One of the hardier varieties, this compact bush fuchsia is ideal for adding many months of colour to mixed borders or patios - but it could also be used to create a low, informal hedge or screen. Its pendent, bell-shaped flowers, which are an eye-catching mix of bright-red and white, form along the length of the leafy stems, putting on a display that will usually last throughout the summer and well into autumn.
For the best results, protect from cold, drying winds. To produce bushy, well-branched plants pinch out the growing tips of young plants after the sixth or seventh pair of leaves. During the growing season water regularly, applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month. Cut back to the permanent framework in early spring. In autumn, it is advisable to mulch the roots with a thick layer of well-rotted compost.
