A delightful Fuchsia with a lax, semi trailing habit, 'Southgate' is a bushy deciduous shrub with incredibly pretty, medium-sized, double flowers adorned with blush pink sepals and fluffy corollas exquisitely marked with pink veining. Blooming non-stop from early summer to fall, the flowers stand out against the mid-green foliage. Attractive to bees and hummingbirds, this flowering shrub looks splendid in hanging baskets or containers.

• 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.
• 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.
