We grew over 150 different varieties in our Fuchsia Trial this summer and had a really lovely display. The plants were in full flower through July - this is when we make our assessments and take pictures for the web site. We then took all the plants as apart of our display at Sandringham and sold them off at the end of the show. Some were waiting for over an hour to get the pick of the varieties, we are sure it wa worth it as there were some beauties to be had.
In recent times the very large flowered doubles have been very fashionable and we certainly sell plenty of these. This year however we were looking for varieties that carried lots of blooms and flowered over a long period as these give great value in the garden and form spectacular displays.
We found plenty and the best are now in our range. Highlights were
Strawberry Daiquiri - a real head tuner with cascades of pink single blooms
Red Spider - a great basket variety with sheer flower power
Electric Lights - lots of flowers that face up to enhance the display
Auntie Jinks - still one of the best for baskets
All these had more flowers than we could count!!
