• The warmer the climate, the more shade will be necessary. Fuchsias are at their best where the summer days stay below 85 degrees F.
I have loved these delicate flowers from afar for years. Because of their delicate branches and tender flowers, I thought they were out of my ability for care. I did buy a basket of Fuchsia, several years ago, and successfully kept them for a few months. I felt that was quite an accomplishment!
The colors are so vibrant and the contrast in some of the varieties are so amazing! Add the opportunity for a double petal fuchsia and I’m over the moon in love with this flower! Perhaps I will give this beauty a try in the garden or on the patio!
