Fuchsia magellicana

Lovely :~))

OMG Spritz i must get this 1 its Gorgeous & being Evergreen is fantatic :)

Going on my favourites to make sure I remember the name.

beautiful

I like hardy plants! I don't have to worry about them!

I understand That Spritz :)

Hear hear.

Very beautiful Spritz...love the shape and colour and its hardy....smashing, a fab pic too!

Is it easy to care for spritz?

Is this Hawkshead Barbara ?

No , Hywel - my Hawkshead is not doing very well, I'm afraid. :-(

Ian - I do absolutely nothing to care for this! No deadheading, I just leave it alone. So, yes, it is very easy!

Sorry to hear that.

Is there anything I can do to give it a 'boost', Hywel? It has grown a little, but it's only about 6" tall, with 4 or 5 shoots.

I like that idea, :~)) Its def. going on my wish list/fav's list.
Hi Hywel, Hows you tonight?

I'm OK Ian thanks :o)
Hope all's well with you too.

You could try giving it a good feedBarbara. Fuchsias are very hungry plants.

We're doing great, thanks :o) Just had a cuppa plonked down in front of me! Does anyone fancy one ?? Spritz, how about you?

OOooooooooo Yes Plez 2 Sugars & very little milk 4 me Ian :)

Kettle's on!

Not for me, thanks - now hot chocolate, that I'd say 'yes please' to!

Thanks, Hywel. I shall do that tomorrow. All-purpose food or tomato feed?

Hot chocolate it is then :~)) kettle's just boiled you won't be long will you. Lol

I think I would try All-purpose. You want to develope a good root and shoot systems at the moment I think. I believe tomato feed would encourage flowering when the plant seems rather too small yet. ( Hope that makes sense )

Thanks, Hywel. That sounds sensible.

Coming, Ian, now I've heard from Hywel!

Can I butt in? Hywel's right, tom food is for flowering/fruiting it has a high potash content. (I go through loads of it, Tomarite is the best!)
Yeay I answered a question instead of asking all the time :~)))))))))))))))

Well Done Ian :)

Thank you Jacque .....:~)))) I've just realised I keep missing the C out of your name :~/

Do U ? iv not noticed lol :)

well its better than people taking the 'p' out of mine...boom boom :~)))

LOL :)

Lovely, they look like tiny little dancers :)

Oh, I want one too, now I know what to look for. I have never seen that one before Spritz. It is so delicate, must sent it to my friend, she would love it too.

Very very pretty Spritz.

I'm glad that this lovely plant is appreciated!

One of my all time favourites.

A very nice plant! I've not seen this one around here. I've seen a few of these hardy Fuchsias but they are mostly red .
