Fuchsia - ShadowDancer® Violette
The Fuchsia ShadowDancer® Violette, 'Fuchsia hybrid', is a very early blooming Fuschia with exceptional uniformity and compact growth. The pastel pink violet flowers flowers perch well above the bushy small leaved foliage. This Proven Selections plant blooms all summer long. They are great plants for greenhouses, window boxes, baskets, homes, and flower beds. Fuchsias should be planted in warm, sheltered spots in well-drained soil. These plants have dark green leaves often with red stems. The flowers, which are produced during the summer and early fall, are droopy and come in many colors. Fuschia is one of the Hummingbirds favorite flowers. Fuchsias do not like to dry out. Keep the soil moist to the touch from spring through autumn. In many parts of the country (and especially if planted in a hanging pot) the fuchsia will require daily watering. For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial. ... get more information
