Fuchsia Bella Laura

Common Name:
Lady's Eardrops

Description:
Fuchsia 'Bella Laura' is a semi-trailing fuchsia cultivar celebrated for its abundant, bicoloured double blooms. The flowers feature vibrant red sepals and white corollas veined with red, creating a striking contrast against the dark green foliage. Blooming profusely from early summer through to late autumn, this variety provides continuous colour throughout the warmer months. In Melbourne's climate, 'Bella Laura' thrives in partial shade to full sun, preferring well-drained, humus-rich soils. Its semi-trailing habit makes it ideal for hanging baskets, containers, and garden borders. Regular deadheading and consistent moisture will encourage prolonged flowering and maintain plant health.
