Fuchsia Fuchsita Red Blue

Common Name: Fuchsia 'Fuchsita Red Blue'

Description:
Fuchsia 'Fuchsita Red Blue' is a striking compact shrub known for its eye-catching, pendulous flowers featuring bold red sepals and deep blue-violet petals. This vibrant colour combination makes it a standout in garden beds, pots, and hanging baskets. Flowering abundantly from spring through autumn, it thrives in part shade to full shade, preferring moist, well-drained soil and regular watering to maintain healthy growth. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees and birds, enhancing the garden with colour and movement. While sensitive to frost, it can be overwintered in a sheltered spot or treated as an annual in cooler climates. Light pruning encourages a dense, bushy habit and extended flowering.
