Fushia for a very sunny spot......

Hi All

I will be wanting to add fushia to my hanging baskets (planting baskets "16" up in April will be kept in green house till May) , they are in a realy hot sunny spot at the front of my house.

what variety would you sugest would be ideal as I tried last year but just hated it.

Fuchsias like dappled shade best. you can use many fuchsias as basket plants and they proform very well .They dont like to be dried out then flooded with water at the end of each day (will cause bud drop) Use a good compost and maybe introduce some of those water retention crystals .Keep miost best you can ,once the baskets become fully mature they do need plenty of water ..A few varieties I use are Swingtime ... La campanela..and Phyllis..First two are basket varieties and the third is a lax bush ....I do use these also as baskets on ther own as well ..
