Fuchsias are a popular choice for summer bedding schemes and containers, due to their attractive, usually pendent flowers from summer to autumn. Some are hardy enough to be used in perennial planting schemes, and may even be clipped into a low-growing hedge.
All fuchsias benefit from fertile, moist but well-drained soil, in a sheltered spot in partial shade.
Fuchsia 'Blands New Stripe' is a shrub fuchsia with a weeping habit. It bears unusual flowers with striped violet and pink petals and red sepals, in contrast with dark green foliage.
