DOLLAR PRINCESS

beautiful colour :)

That's a beauty, like it. Will you let it over-winter in the garden or take it in?

I bought two hardy fuchsias together - Dollar Princess and Beacon - about ten years ago. They're both in the garden and both come back year after year, although they're both late starters and late flowerers. I leave all the green on them before the winter and stack loads of dead leaves around the base, then weight the leaves down with big stones. Dunno if this helps but I've done this method every year. Then, when they start growing again, I trim the woody bits back to keep 'em in shape.
