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 'Rose of Castile' is an upright, hardy fuchsia, bearing large, single flowers with pink sepals and purple petals. Plant it in a sheltered spot away from cold winter winds, and give roots a thick mulch in autumn.
