Hi Neena love the fuschia, mine are still going mostly but one has big grape like pods on it with a big seed in the middle, do you think that another plant would grow from this?

It is worth a shot Bob I just take cuttings I have about four of these about the garden now those big purple pods appear after flowering but I haven't tried planting them umm thats a thought good luck :o))

Aparently you can eat them or make jam from them but they dont taste of much, above all it says you must remove them a.s.a.p. as it will delay flowering. Also you can grow another plant from the seed but it may or may not be the same plant as the one it came from.

Oh that is interesting I don't think I fancy eating them though but at least I now know they are not poisonous :o)) you never know you may get an even nicer one if you plant yours!
