Hardy Fuchsia - Army Nurse

Always plant hardy Fuchsias deep. In that way the lower branches will be protected and regrow next spring. Also give a good mulch.
However, most winters don't tend to kill them back much so it should be fine.
Planting near or among other shrubs also gives protection.

I wrote this blog once a few years ago. You might like to see it :-

Good luck ! :)

Not heard of this one Jen, it's lovely.

Thanks Hywel, just read your blog and it was very interesting. When I planted, I had seen on net to plant it deep, just hope I did it deep enough as I don't know if I did it as deep as you do.

Waddy, I hadn't seen it before but then must admit I have no great knowledge of fuchsias. Hywel had said before that it is one he has had. I thought it was pretty and only at a £1, thought I had nothing to lose. :-).

It is quite hardy and tends to grow very bushy. Beautifully shaped flowers. I've had it for years.

Thats a pretty one.

Thank you Hywel, I'm just glad it survived being sun scorched. I have planted it by a hedge so hopefully that will also give it some protection over winter. As you say, looking at it now, it is fairly bushy.

Thank you Dawn :-)
