Fuchsia 'Phyllis'

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 'Phyllis' is an upright, hardy fuchsia, bearing single and semi-double flowers with a rose-red sepals and deeper red petals. Plant it in a sheltered spot away from cold winter winds, and give roots a thick mulch in autumn.

Fuchsia 'Phyllis' is well suited to growing in a mixed herbaceous border in part shade, or in a pot on a sheltered, part-shaded patio.
