FUCHSIA magellanica Arauco

FUCHSIA magellanica Arauco is a reliable hardy fuchsia valued for its long flowering season, bearing slender, pendant blooms in classic red-and-purple tones from early summer into autumn. It thrives in sun or light shade and moist, fertile, well-drained soil, making a versatile choice for mixed borders and cottage-style planting. Prune in spring as new growth appears and deadhead regularly to encourage continuous display; mulch in colder areas to protect the root zone.
