Winner of the the Royal Horticultural Society's prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM). 🏡Fuchsias are happiest when kept in cool, shady locations.💧Keep them in moist, though not wet soil.🌺Regular fertilizing and deadheading will keep them overflowing with blooms all summer long! We recommend fertilizing Fuchsias every 2 weeks with a gentle but potassium rich fertilizer, such as Neptune's Harvest Fish & Seaweed (available in our Garden Shop) to promote flower growth. Limited quantities available. Plant Nerd: While most people grow them as annuals here, Fuchsias are technically tender perennials (cold hardy to somewhere between zone 8 and 9, roughly ~20F), which means that they can be overwintered indoors. Under ideal conditions they can live up to 8 years! 🌿What's in a name? Fuchsias are named after one of the fathers of botany, Leonhart Fuchs, renowned plant expert, physician, and professor of the 1500s. His great scholarly work, Notable Commentaries on the History of Plants (De historia stirpium commentarii insignes), covers roughly 500 different known medicinal plant species of his time and is filled with beautiful botanical woodcut illustrations. Stanford University Press considers it to be one of the best illustrated books of all time! 🌎Most Fuchsias are native to Central and South America, with some also hailing from New Zealand, Hispaniola, and Tahiti. Modern cultivars available in the horticultural world are hybrids bred by plant breeders passionate about these amazing plants, bringing out their best and most beautiful qualities.
