Description: Fuchsia ‘HAPPY BELLS™ Flirtatious’ is a charming, compact variety celebrated for its vibrant, bell-shaped blossoms that cascade gracefully from spring through autumn. The flowers feature a striking purple corolla with long, pink-red sepals, creating an eye-catching two-tone display that brightens shaded or sheltered areas. The plant forms a neat, bushy mound of glossy green foliage, reaching approximately 40 cm in height and spreading to about 50 cm. It thrives in moist but well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering, mulching during dry periods, and a light trim after the main flowering flush to maintain a tidy form. Suitable for containers, hanging baskets, mixed borders, and sheltered garden settings, this fuchsia prefers full sun to part shade and should be protected from harsh afternoon sun and frost in Melbourne conditions.
