    Sounds like a good idea. I haven't taken any cuttings yet, this year, but I normally do and will probably do so when I start pinching out some side shoots etc. I'd love to have some more varieties

    Fuchsia Dollar Princess
    Fuchsia Winston Churchill
    Fuchsia La Campanella
    Fuchsia Spion Kop
    Fuchsia Carmel Blue

    Hi all
    When i was younger ie Aesculus`s age ( many years ago) i couldn`t see the appeal of Fuschias either,
    Now i love the different flower shapes and colours ,
    it must be something to grow into :hehe:
