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 'Chang' has compact foliage and single, red tubular flowers, with whitish sepals. Grow it in pots on the patio in partial shade – plants should be overwintered indoors.
