This compact, shrubby fuchsia is sought-after for both its foliage, which looks as though it has been overlaid with a silvery sheen, as well as it's small, nectar-rich pink flowers.
One of the hardier types, 'Silver Lining' is ideal for planting out in a warm, sheltered garden, but it can also be grown in a pot and moved to a porch or unheated conservatory when the temperatures start to dip.

For border planting, choose a sunny sheltered spot. Dig a hole twice the size of the rootball, scatter some mycorrhizal fungi on the roots and mix some well-rotted compost into the excavated soil and backfill.
For best results in containers, pot up using a good quality potting compost or or loam-based compost ensuring good drainage.
Fuschias require regular watering to aid establishment and during active growth. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each month.
Border plants benefit from mulching in winter for cold temperature protection. Prune in spring to maintain form and to encourage new growth.
Pot grown plants should be overwintered in a sheltered or frost-free spot, while those growing in borders will benefit from winter protection such as horticultural fleece.
