There are thousands of different hybrid Fuchsias, each with a different personality, colour and formation.
They are wonderfully delicate, graceful and colourful yet not difficult to grow.
The shrub has rich green leaves and waxy, bell shaped, pendulant flowers with long stamens protruding downwards. With so many hybrids the flower colours are as wide and varied as can be.
There are simple single flowers and extraordinarily complex doubles in all sizes.
The graceful habit of the 'Trailing' form makes them perfect for hanging baskets or window boxes.
Many prefer a decent amount of shade throughout the day, though dappled light is generally appreciated.
Generally, the darker the flower the more they can withstand direct sun. Single blooms tend to also be able to handle more sun than the more delicate doubles.
They go well with other semi-tropical plants, like Begonia and Justicia.
