Our Feedback
Late July and I decided to replace a couple of plants in my flowerbed that are not earning their keep. I decided I want Fuchsias. I did a bit of research, decided on the variety I wanted and then tried to find some. Victoriana came up trumps and had the variety I was looking for, and offered reasonably priced mail order too. I was delighted when I received my plants. They are sturdy and bushy. They've been pinched back so there are lots of shoots. They were well packed and clearly were posted to avoid being in the post over the weekend in what was a very hot spell in July / August 2020. Arrived still moist and in fabulous condition. I am delighted with them. A teensy bit potbound, as to be expected at this time of year, but the lovely root system means I'm sure they'll get their roots out and grow on in no time. 100% satisfied customer; I would happily recommend Victoriana Nurseries to anyone wanting to buy a Fuchsia. These are the experts. Thank you!

- Top Tips
- Protect newly sown seeds from mice. Mice are notorious for sniffing out pea seeds!
- Pheasants love young pea plants and will dig up the plants to eat the sprouted seed so take precautions (especially with autumn sowings) if you have pheasants in your area.
- Protect young plants from pigeons.
- Though not entirely essential, providing some support (pea sticks, netting or canes) will keep the crop tidier and make harvesting easier.
- A good precaution to prevent damage from Pea Moth or Pea Weevil is to spray the entire plant (flowers included) with our BioFriend Plant Defence periodically during the flowering period.
- Water well if the weather is dry.
- Regular picking will encourage further flowering and subsequent cropping. Mange Tout freeze well so better to pick regularly and freeze any excess as this will keep the plants producing.
- After harvesting dig the plants into the ground to provide green manure and valuable nitrogen to the soil.
