Fuchsia ‘Novella’

Hanging Baskets and Pots

Fuchsia Novella, Hardy Fuchsia, Flowering Shrub, Pink Flowers, Salmon Flowers, Double Fuchsia, Hanging Baskets

Fuchsia ‘Novella’ is a deciduous small shrub of lax habit with medium-sized semi-double flowers adorned with long, fleshy, pink tubes, long rosy-pink sepals and a coral-orange corolla. Blooming non-stop from early summer to fall, the cheerful flowers stand out against the foliage of mid-green serrated leaves. Attractive to bees and hummingbirds, this half-hardy Fuchsia makes a superb choice for hanging baskets, containers and can be grown as a weeping standard.

  • Grows up to 18 in. tall and wide (45 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. Protect from the afternoon sun in hot climates.
  • Perfect for containers or hanging baskets.
  • 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.
  • Stem cuttings are by far the easiest way of propagating fuchsias.
  • Watch for rust, capsid bug and caterpillars.
