Fuchsia 'Beacon' flowering on balcony 17th October 2022

Good to see this again Balc. I used to grow it when first married, it is a pretty one.

Thank you, Janey. 😀 It is indeed a pretty Fuchsia & what's more I've been able to successfully root cutting of it for many years!

I used to have 4 1m tall standards till the winter of 2009/10 killed them off! Fortunately I had a cutting or two in the kitchen that survived the winter & so I've never been without this Fuchsia ever since. I'd made up the standards several years before they were eventually killed. I haven't bothered to make any more since I lost those 4

I have an 18" high Fuchsia 'Garden News' in the kitchen that I'm going to train to be a standard next year.
