Fuchsia species Deciduous shrub (1 Page of 5) The Fuchsia species plant species is found in Southern N. America. It is a member of the Onagraceae family. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Fuchsia species Family: Onagraceae Author: Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 2 Mature Width: 1 Habitat: Not known
Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in any fertile well-drained circum-neutral soil, preferring one that is rich in humus[1, 200]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Prefers cool moist conditions and some shade[1, 15]. Succeeds in a good loam if leafmold and sand are added[1].
The young growth in spring, even on mature plants, is frost-tender and so it is best to grow the plants in a position sheltered from the early morning sun[K].
This is a seedling from an unlabelled hardy fuchsia cultivar that had good quality fruit[K] (this does not relate to the named cultivars included here).
Plants seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits[233].
