Hardy fuchsias will rescue a fading summer garden with a flurry of blooms that last well into autumn. Great among shrubs in borders or as a colourful addition to containers; they’ll become more impressive as the years go by. They’ll become a staple feature in your borders thanks to their reliable flowering and good, bushy habit. This bushy variety bears a profusion of double purple blooms with contrasting cerise pink sepals over a particularly long period. The ruffled blooms of Fuchsia ‘Dollar Princess’ appear early in the season on vigorous, upright stems. This popular hardy fuchsia is well loved for its showy blooms and holds an RHS AGM for its excellent garden performance. Pot up fuchsias using well drained compost such as John Innes No.3, and grow on in warm, frost-free conditions. Pinch out the growing tips while fuchsia plants are still small to promote bushier growth and more flowers. When plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a 7 to 10 day period, before planting them in their final positions in patio containers and sunny or semi shaded borders.
