Fuchsia - Sun Ray

The Fuchsia "European Uprights™ Sun Ray, 'Fuchsia hybrid', is a heat tolerant hybrid. In many parts of the country (and especially if planted in a hanging pot) the fuchsia will require daily watering. The Rosa Beacon has lovely bright pink purple flowers and variegated green and white foliage. This Proven Selections plant blooms all summer long. They are great plants for greenhouses, window boxes, baskets, homes, and flower beds. Along with outstanding heat tolerance, they also feature upright growth habits, lovely single flowers, and fantastic colors. Talk about tough, European gardeners actually grow these varieties in full sun. Besides patio planters and mixed container gardens, our European Uprights do extremely well in beds and borders. For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial. Fuschia is one of the Hummingbirds favorite flowers. Fuchsias do not like to dry out. The flowers, which are produced during the summer and early fall, are droopy and come in many colors. Keep the soil moist to the touch from spring through autumn. ... more
