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!

This delicious and well known fruit is often overlooked by gardeners as its tropical originations make many think it will not 'do well'. In reality Pomegranates are 'tender' but will take mild frosts occasionally.
Originating from Southwest Asia, Pomegranates thrive in hot arid conditions.
Whilst they are best grown in a large container (so they can be moved in for the Winter) they will similarly fare well in a warm sheltered spot in the garden such as next to a South or West facing wall.
Pomegranates are recognised to be a 'super fruit' - protecting against heart disease and cancer.
Beautiful orange-red flowers mid Summer are followed by the familiar golden skinned fruits that hide the sweet juicy red crimson flesh.
Please note that by their nature Pomegranates are irregular and oddly shaped, often growing in asemi standard way with bent and twisted main stems - this is entirely natural.
- Self fertile (although more than one will ensure a better pollination and crop).
- Perennial.
- Prefers well drained soil.
- If growing outside ensure they are grown in a sheltered sunny spot.
- To ensure fruiting a long, hot Summer is essential.
- Consider growing your Pomegranate in a container so it can be moved in for the Winter and kept in early Spring to lengthen the warm growing season.
- Top Tips
- Ideally Pomegranates are best kept at a minimum temperature of 40F (5C). If growing out side and frost is forecast to be hard protect with fleece or similar.
- Pruning should be undertaken in the Winter or Spring.
- Avoid protected growing areas that are excessively humid.
