CLIMBING FUSHIA ~ LADY BOOTHBY


CLIMBING FUSHIA ~ LADY BOOTHBY

My neighbour bought me this cutting from his climbing fushia about a month ago . It had only just rooted then, but look at it now. I will have to ask the name of it. I think it may be Mrs. Popple, but I'm not sure.

Do you cut yours down ready for next year and let it start again Hywel, or do you leave it and let it shoot again from the old wood. I've never grown one before.

I leave it alone and see where it shoots from next year. Then I decide how far back I want to cut it. I have it in a tub and put it in a sheltered corner for the winter.
