Fuchsia 'Lottie Hobby'

Fuchsia 'Lottie Hobby'

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. 'Lottie Hobby' is a vigorous fuchsia with small dark green leaves and small single flowers of pink sepals and tubes and darker pink petals. Hardy, tough and often flowers through frosts. Height 90cm
