Fuchsia Mrs Popple

Showy, scarlet and purple flowers hang from the arching stems of Fuchsia Mrs Popple from June to October among slender, deep green leaves. This vigorous, single-flowered fuchsia makes a lovely feature plant for a partially shady border. Bushy and upright in habit, it performs best in fertile, moist, well-drained soil with protection from cold, drying winds.  Once established this is a hardy fuchsia, but when young, and in particularly harsh winters, it will benefit from a deep dry mulch over the crown of the plant.  Grows to approx 1m x 1m.
