Fuchsia "Rocket fire"

Nice one Bikerbob....did you standard it yourself?

Hi Milky, Yes i'm in the last stages of doing 6 standards this is one of them.

Im having a go at a couple myself this year. Already got a place for them in the greenhouse.....lol

Lovely flowers, Bob! :-))

I have another couple of standard Fuchsias Beacon that I've started off this year as well as the two old ones, now at least 7 or 8 years old. They are all of Beacon. These standards are grown to 1m/3ft before the head is allowed to form so that they reach out over the balcony railings. I would have no room to grow them otherwise.

I also have 5 hanging baskets with 5 Fuchsias in each one. These I grew for the first time last year, they survived the winter & have been flowering all summer.

Sounds lovely BB. This one sure is a cracker!!
