‘Lady in Black’ is a superb Fuchsia, that is ready to flower from July until November. It produces bundles of double, rich black and bright pink blooms, that smother a climbing growing habit of fresh green foliage. Adored for its intense flower power, be sure to incorporate into wildlife and cottage themed landscapes, as well as planting up in a patio pot where it can sprawl along walls, fences and trellis! Happy to grow in semi shade, watch it flourish to a height of 2m, along with a spread of 90cm. Fuchsia ‘Lady Boothby’ finally has a companion! Following the success of the first climbing fuchsia, T&M started a process in 2007 to create a new colour. Pot up Fuchsia ‘Lady in Black’ 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. Provide a sturdy support, such as a plant climbing frame or trellis, to support the long stems of climbing fuchsias as they grow.
