Fuchsia Berries a selection of items about Fuchsias that may be of interest.

 

                                    While you are at Kew look in the Temperate House. There are two examples of F.microphylla ssp aprica. They are different and one looks like nothing we have seen before.

 

            In a copy of H.A.Browns catalogue c1949 he states that he called a plant Query  because he did not recognise it. As it appears identical to Chillerton Beauty  perhaps we should forget about Query.

 

            Our top ten hardy fuchsias in 2005. Winter in 2004\2005 was not terribly cold. Summer was hot and dry in June and July and the fuchsias suffered.

 

            George Barr Much better in the garden than in a pot. Was never out of lower.

            Remember Eric  Still consistent whatever the weather.

            F.hatschbachii  grows as a pillar beside our porch and is stunning also in the garden as a bush.

            Thilco Covered with flowers all summer.

            Lye’s Unique / Kolding Perle. Were late coming through but made up for it.

            John E. Caunt Really shrugged off the heat.

            Prosperity Early as usual but carried on in the heat which surprised us.

            Empress of Prussia / Monsieur Thibault  Were moved in April but flowered better than ever.

            Eva Boerg Spreads a bit but showed lots of colour.

            Nicis Findling Still on trial but has stood out for four years now.
