Product description
Designed to remain naturally compact and highly branching, Fuchsia Bella Susanna is a tender woody shrub that produces an abundance of elegant, drooping bell-shaped flowers. It thrives in conditions that mimic a gentle woodland edge, bringing vibrant, nectar-rich colour to spaces that might otherwise be too dim for traditional container plants.
This moisture-loving shrub demands a consistently damp, rich soil and will panic if its roots are allowed to dry out completely. Protect it from harsh, baking sunlight by placing the container in a shaded or brightly dappled spot, and ensure the pot has excellent drainage to prevent the constantly moist soil from turning stagnant.
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. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
