These plants have dark green leaves often with red stems. Keep the soil moist to the touch from spring through autumn. The Fuchsia Autumnale, 'Fuchsia hybrid', is a early blooming Fuschia with exceptional uniformity and compact growth. They are great plants for greenhouses, window boxes, baskets, homes, and flower beds. Fuchsias do not like to dry out. The red sepal/purple corolla flowers perch on a splendid trailing Fuschsia distinquished by pure gold leaves flushed with purple and orange. In many parts of the country (and especially if planted in a hanging pot) the fuchsia will require daily watering. Fuschia is one of the Hummingbirds favorite flowers. The flowers, which are produced during the summer and early fall, are droopy and come in many colors. Fuchsias should be planted in warm, sheltered spots in well-drained soil. This Proven Selections plant blooms all summer long. For zones 8-11, this plant can also be a perennial. ... details
