    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    (DAVID HARDY FUCHSIA) Dunno the origin of this one, but David is one of our top selling Fuchsias! Quickly forms a nice 3’ rounded mound of small leaves and is very floriferous with slender jewel like, glowing ruby red flowers with purple corollas and elongated red stamens…eye catching! Typical Fuchi culture, AM sun or bright shade, rich soil, moisture. Also excels in a pot!
