Bargain Fuchsia Tree


Bargain Fuchsia Tree

This was in the sale for £5 at Homebase and couldn't believe the amount of new buds coming through. Guess the garden bloke there thought it had finished flowering! ha ha ha

Thx Linda. This was the one I wanted for my fathers day present but the ones they had wasn't very good so went for the purple one. Popped into a different branch to look at palms & saw this one for £5! Glad I did!

This is more like the cerise colour hubby likes. More vibrant. It's a beauty for the price. :o))

Lovely Steve! Is it hardy? I've been looking at a few like this but the labels are so crap and don't say whether they're hardy or not.

I'm not sure if its Hardy Connie as it doesn't say on the label. Still my 1st year and still learning whats hardy and whats not! Sure someone may know! I'd imagine it is.

Same as me Steve, learning all the way! I had another look at the fuschia today, the one I've been eyeing up for 2 weeks now, took a note of it's name - Snow drop, so hopefully now I can find out if it's hardy. The name does sound promising lol!

I bought this one in Homebase too! A real bargain and flowering it's socks off, I think it's called 'Display' Steve :-))

Think your right. Tag is in the shed still. Still can't belive that they didn't wait until 2nd lot of buds. Could've probably still sold it for full money. There loss! lol
