NEW THIS YEAR! A Fuchsia that’s totally “on trend” with an adorable bubble skirt! 2” magenta and purple flowers seem to be single blossoms until you look under their skirts and realize that there’s a second, inner set of petals tucked up underneath like poofy pantaloons! The inner petals relax and straighten as they mature - lightening from a glowy, velvety purple to near-pink. Forms a shrub about 4’ high and wide that is perfect for attracting loads of hummers to the yard. Can be grown as a container specimen and over-wintered indoors in colder areas. Provide rich, well-drained soil and compost occasionally for a happy, floriferous plant.
