Fuchsia ..Empress of Prussia..

What a great Fuchsia! :)

Lovely shape too:-)

So many blooms ... lovely.

Wonderful Fuchsia, Bloomer! Is it a hardy Fuchsia? It's certainly has lots of flowers! :-))

Thank you Karen,Ba ,Shirley and Balcony..and yes,it is very hardy.I've had it approx 13 years..I have a few more ,which I hope will be as good as the parent in time :o)

13 years is a long time to keep a Fuchsia! Is it the original plant or is it from a cutting at some time?

It was a gift as a cutting,Balcony..and it's been in the same place all the time..I'm amazed it's kept going too ! :o) I give it a good mulch for winter,and feed in late spring,and that's it..Quite slow to get going,but once it does,it romps away..I think a lot of Fuchsia's tend to flower a bit later than other plants..they do in my garden,anyway..

It looks beautiful Bloomer. Nice and compact.

Thanks Linda..it does stay compact,which is just as well really:o)

Love it Bloomer.

Thank you Dawn,it's my favourite :o)

Its great when an old favourite does you proud year after year.

Just put the words - fuchsia empress of prussia - into Google and your image appears :).

Lovely compact one Bloomer and so may flowers, I have several Mrs Popperwell a hardy variety too, I cut them back early spring and they stay relatively tidy but not as neat as yours! - lovely :o)

Oh my goodness, isn't she just stunning?!

wow! this one is outstanding Sandra - Kudos to you! :)

Looking good Sandra, the cutting you gave me is blooming lovely too ;0)

Lol.Dawn..I had a look on Google..I seem to have the page to myself..or the Fuchsia does ! :o)
........
Thanks Neena..I usually wait till a bit later to cut mine back..we might more prone to frost here,than in Wales,but that could be me being pessimistic :o)
.......
Thanks Julia,I think so too :o)
.........
Thank you Paul..It is like this every year,and flowers well into late Autumn..can't ask anymore of it really :o)
...........
Thanks Carole..I think you have a few cuttings of this now.:o) and one in Cumbria in Simon and Clare's garden ? :o)

Wow what a beautiful plant Sandra its absolutely loaded with blooms ,lets hope Caroles cuttings rewards her in the same way for years to come :o)) x

Thanks for the reminder Sandra I had Forgotten that I had
Given Simon and Clare cuttings too, the Empress certainly travels around ;0))

Thanks Amy..quite a few are dropping now,but still lots to come yet :o)

They had better hide it,Carole,or everyone in Kirby Stephen will want one ! Lol .It might be you who has to do the honours,next time you visit :o)
