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 'Thamar’ is a bushy, non-hardy fuchsia, bearing small, pretty single flowers with white sepals and blue petals. Flowers are more open than many other species of fuchsia, and have an upward-facing habit. Plant 'Thamar' in a sheltered spot or grow in pots on a sheltered patio. Plants need to be brought indoors if they are to survive winter.
