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 'Rapunzel' is a non-hardy, trailing bedding fuchsia, with stems of pretty white and purple flowers trailing to an incredible 60cm. It works well when grown as an annual bedding plant in pots, window boxes and hanging baskets.
