Hanging Basket Fuchsias

Ten of the best large and medium sized flowering basket fuchsias. Also due to their lax growth habit these can be trained to ‘climb’ against a trellis or wires. Standards can be grown from these but the small and medium flowered varieties make best standards. To make a good basket fuchsia they need to be pinched out in early stages of growth.
