Fuchsia ‘White Joy’

Luminous, Fuchsia ‘White Joy’ is a vigorous, upright, bushy deciduous shrub with a profusion of medium-sized, single flowers adorned with a short white tube with a pink blush, white recurving sepals with a pink blush, and flared white corollas. Blooming from early summer until frost, the flowers stand out against the foliage of ovate, toothed, light to mid-green leaves and sparkle in the sun. Attractive to bees and hummingbirds, this flowering shrub can be easily grown as a plant pot or as a quarter or half 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.
• 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. 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.
