Product description

Fuchsia Trailing Mix offers a classic, weeping canopy of jewel-toned, bell-shaped flowers suspended on delicate, flexible stems. Originally descending from forest-floor shrubs in Central and South America, these tender deciduous varieties have been specifically bred to lose their upright structural spine, allowing them to cascade elegantly out of raised planters and window boxes. They provide an invaluable burst of rich pinks, purples, reds, and whites in garden zones that don't get enough sunlight to support other summer bedding.

Unlike most summer container plants, trailing fuchsias despise baking midday heat and perform best in partial shade, particularly spots that offer gentle morning sun and cool afternoon protection. They are incredibly thirsty and require a rich, moisture-retentive loam compost that is kept consistently damp; if the root ball dries out even once, the plant will often drop its unopened buds in shock. Keep them blooming straight through to late October by aggressively pinching off the green seed berries that form after the spent blossoms fall.

Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
