Fuchsia paniculata x arborescens 'Blutini' pbr

Common Name:
Blutini Fuchsia

Description:
Fuchsia paniculata × arborescens 'Blutini' PBR is an eye-catching, evergreen hybrid fuchsia known for its compact growth, showy flower clusters, and extended blooming season. Bred for improved performance and structure, 'Blutini' combines the tropical elegance of Fuchsia paniculata with the shrubby resilience of Fuchsia arborescens. It produces panicles of vivid violet-blue to magenta tubular flowers from late spring through to autumn, attracting bees and other pollinators. The foliage is lush and glossy, providing a lush tropical feel, while the plant maintains a tidy, bushy form. In Melbourne’s climate, it thrives in part shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun and appreciates consistently moist, well-drained soil. It’s perfect for use in garden beds, shaded borders, or large pots where its striking colour can be fully appreciated. Light pruning after flowering encourages bushiness and further blooming.
