Fuchsia 'Ballet Girl' is a stunning and award-winning cultivar. This strong-growing and bushy plant is exceptionally beautiful, with medium to large double flowers that are decorated with bright cerise sepals and white corollas marked by red veining.
The blooms are almost non-stop, lasting from early summer until the first frosts, and they contrast stunningly against the serrated foliage that ranges from mid to dark green. Bees are especially attracted to this shrub, which grows upright and strong. It can be trained as a full or half standard, making it an ideal choice for a potted, patio specimen.

Our bedding range and bedding collections (where available) are offered as seedlings, cuttings, and potted plants.
Pot up seedlings and cuttings and grow them on under glass until the risk of frost has passed. Once conditions are warmer, they can be planted directly into well-prepared beds, or used to fill patio pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets for long-lasting seasonal colour. Larger 9cm bedding plants don’t usually need potting on but will benefit from initial frost protection in spring.
To keep bedding plants looking their best, and where applicable, pinch out the tips to promote bushier growth and water regularly, especially in containers where compost dries out quickly. Feed with a high-potash fertiliser every couple of weeks to encourage continuous flowering. Deadhead faded blooms, as required, to extend the display and keep plants tidy, ensuring vibrant summer flowers from planting time right through to the first frosts.
