Last year I took quite a few cuttings from my Fuschias, they all took but there were no flowers, I asked Hywel’s advice he said feed them again and be patient they may still flower, well I fed them and was patient and finally some buds appeared, I waited for them to open and waited now at last here they are:

Well this one is almost open

These are keeping waiting a little longer!

This was my first attempt with Fuschia cuttings so I am really pleased they were successful, thank you Hywel I hope you like them :o)

Congratulations on your cuttings :o) They're doing well, and the flowers are pretty. Next year they'll put on a lovely show I'm sure.
I'm happy to have been of help to you.

Years agu there was an old fella with a couple of poly tunnels full of named fuschia cuttins......tiny things in pots no bigger than a fabric bottle top...oh there were some beauties, a cream with faint strokes of pink was a favorite.......beautiful plants. :0))
