Fuchsia ‘Candy Bells Raspberry’

Common Name:
Candy Bells Raspberry Fuchsia

Description:
Fuchsia ‘Candy Bells Raspberry’ is a compact and floriferous variety prized for its cascading clusters of deep raspberry-pink, bell-shaped blooms that appear continuously from late spring to autumn. This small, mounding shrub has mid-green foliage that provides an elegant contrast to the vibrant, richly coloured flowers, which are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and nectar-feeding birds. Well-suited to Melbourne’s cool-temperate climate, this cultivar thrives in part shade to full shade, preferring moist, well-drained soil and protection from hot afternoon sun. It performs beautifully in hanging baskets, patio pots, or shaded borders where it adds a soft, romantic touch with minimal effort. Light pruning and regular deadheading will encourage even more flowers throughout the season. Fuchsia ‘Candy Bells Raspberry’ is perfect for gardeners looking to bring vivid colour and pollinator life into sheltered garden spaces.
