Fuchsia 'Roesse Blacky'

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 'Roesse Blacky' is a pretty shrub fuchsia, bearing double flowers with dark pink sepals and purple-black petals. Grow it in a mixed herbaceous border in part shade, or in a pot on a sheltered patio.
