Red Fuchsia
€14.95
Red Fuchsia (Fuchsia magellanica) is offered here as a young plant — sold bare-root from November to March and as a potted plant the rest of the year. A hardy deciduous shrub in the Onagraceae family grown for its striking, lantern-like red and purple flowers, it typically reaches 1 to 2 m tall, though some varieties grow up to 3 m, blooming from summer into autumn. The flowers are a strong draw for bees and other pollinators, and some varieties go on to form small, edible berries. Its long flowering season and elegant, arching habit make it a garden favourite. A reliable choice for Irish and UK hedges, wildlife gardens, and ornamental borders wanting colour late into the season.

Growing Instructions
Grow in partial shade to full sun in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. In colder areas, mulch the base well in winter or grow in a sheltered spot to protect roots from hard frost. Prune back in early spring to maintain shape and encourage strong new flowering growth. Water during dry spells, especially in containers. Well suited to hedges, wildlife gardens, and ornamental borders.
