Fuchsias are one of my favourite flowers. A few months ago I saw a very small fuchsia when I was grocery shopping for £1so I bought it. Over the next few years I hope to add to it but I think it will be years before I'm anywhere near the league that some of you are in

I have always loved them but never been very good at looking after them over winter but Steragran has given me a few tips so hopefully things will change. I gave away nearly all my pots when I moved last year but next year am going to get some more so that would be very much appreciated. Also any help and tips would be very gratefully received :-)

Some of my best plants have come from Supermarkets,,I hope you can keep this pretty one over winter..
Do you know if it's said to be hardy?

You should have a good chance with snowcap it is quite hardy the lists say down to -5c I have had it as a a semi standard for 5 years had kept it just frost free for four years last winter did not feel up to moving it and left it outside ,it did take a bit of a knock and required trimming up but is OK now .will take pic and show.

Bloomer, in my new effort to become a "proper" lol gardener I kept the card that was on the pot. Reason I choose it was that it was hardy.
Thank you Bjs, that gives me hope. :-)

OK - If there are any you like let me know and I'll try to take some cuttings for you :)
Good luck on becoming a 'proper' gardener. Maybe I'll join you one day and become a proper gardener myself :D lol
