Fuchsia 'Delta's Sarah'
Fuchsias are grown for their very attractive, usually pendent flowers that are borne continuously from summer to autumn. Hardy types tend to be the larger bush or hedging type, with simple single flowers, which as the name suggests will over winter well. This beautiful bush variety with semi-double blooms, produces a succession of supremely weather resistant, unusual coloured blue flowers, up 6cm (2½") in diameter.
