Fuchsia 'Garden News'

 

Fuchsia 'Garden News'

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. 'Garden News' produces masses of magenta pink flowers with frosty pink sepals throughout summer. Height and spread: 50cm (20").
