Fuchsia Bella Mariska

Common Name:
Lady's Eardrops

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