Fuchsia 'Patricia Hodge'

 

Fuchsia 'Patricia Hodge'

Fuchsias are grown for their very attractive, usually pendent flowers that are borne continuously from summer to autumn. Half hardy fuchsias tend to be smaller bush or trailing specimen plants with more complicated double flowers. 'Patricia Hodge' is a compact, bushy, trailing, half-hard, fuchsia with ovate, toothed, dark green leaves, and, from summer into early autumn, pendent flowers with salmon sepals and single, orange corollas.
