Supplied as compost block grown plants approximately 6-8" tall.

One of the most hardy fuchsias around and not usually eaten by rabbits.

Sometimes called the Hummingbird fuchsia as hummingbirds like it's nectar!

So named because these can grow up to 6 feet - 10 feet tall and are very vigorous.

This is our own clone or stock of magellanica. Deep green foliage becomes smothered in crimson purple medium to small flowers.

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
