Summer Bedding, Standard Fuchsia
A cheerful addition to the summer garden, award-winner Fuchsia ‘Dark Eyes’ is an upright, bushy deciduous shrub with frilly red and purple blooms of great beauty. Blooming from early summer until frost, the medium-sized, double flowers feature red upswept sepals and a violet-blue corolla with rolled petals. Attractive to bees and hummingbirds, they stand out against the foliage of dark green leaves. This flowering shrub makes an excellent border plant in summer and can be grown as a weeping standard.
