Fuchsia ‘Candy Bells Pink’

Common Name:
Candy Bells Pink Fuchsia

Description:
Fuchsia ‘Candy Bells Pink’ is a compact, free-flowering shrub known for its abundance of dainty, bell-shaped pink blooms that appear in clusters throughout the warmer months. This cultivar is valued for its tidy mounding habit and long flowering period, providing vibrant colour from late spring through to autumn. The elegant, tubular flowers attract bees, butterflies, and nectar-feeding birds, while the mid-green foliage offers a soft backdrop that keeps the plant looking lush even between flushes. Perfectly suited to Melbourne’s climate, ‘Candy Bells Pink’ thrives in part shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun and enjoys moist, well-drained soil. It’s an excellent choice for hanging baskets, patio pots, or garden borders where soft colour and pollinator activity are welcome. Light pruning after flowering will help maintain a compact form and promote repeat blooming.
