Fuchsia 'Red Jacket'

A free flowering, trailing variety with large blooms. Crimson red tubes and sepals with bright white, fully double petals. Petals have red streaks on their reverse. Very impressive.

Green thumb or brown, Fuchsias will flower for you! Place them in a filtered light position to enjoy months of blooms.

The flowers open freely for a long period over the lush green leaves. Fuchsia blooms are like pretty dancers, in fancy skirts and sway gracefully in the breeze.

Fuchsias are long lived and grow best in semi shade to filtered light conditions where they thrive in both pots and hanging baskets. You can even grow them indoors.

Plant Fuchsias good quality potting mix and be sure to shelter the plants from drying winds and frost. Add a liquid fertiliser monthly when in flower, to keep them blooming. Make sure you keep them just moist while actively growing. Overwatering will result in sluggish growth as will under watering, the key is the finger test, just pop your digit in the soil and if it comes out dry you need to water. If the flowers drop off this is generally caused by too much light.

With a little love Fuchsias will flower from spring to autumn. You can dead head them throughout the season to keep the blooms coming.
