Fuchsia 'Hawaiian Sunset'
Summer Bedding, Containers
Free flowering and self-branching, Fuchsia 'Hawaiian Sunset' is an upright, bushy deciduous shrub with masses of double flowers adorned with a pale pink striped rose tube, rose sepals with apple-green recurved tips and vibrant dark reddish purple corollas. Blooming from early summer until frost, the flowers stand out against the foliage of dark green leaves. Attractive to bees and hummingbirds, this flowering shrub is excellent as a summer bedding plant and also makes a lovely pot plant. A real show stopper.
- Grows up to 24 in. tall and wide (60 cm).
- A full sun to part shade lover, this plant is best grown in moist, fertile, well-drained soils. Provide a deep winter mulch and shelter from cold drying winds.
- Plant as a specimen or in small groups. Perfect for beds and borders, wall-side borders, cottage gardens or containers.
- In early to mid-spring cut back the previous year's flowering stems to within one or two buds of the older woody framework. Also remove any thin, weak or dead growth. This stimulates development of strong new growth on which flowers will be produced in late summer.
- Propagate by softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings
- Watch for rust, capsid bug and caterpillars.
