Fuchsia coccinea Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in any fertile well-drained circum-neutral soil[200]. Requires a good soil and a moist shady position in the summer[48]. A fast-growing plant[188]. Plants are not very hardy outdoors in Britain. They are susceptible to frost damage, though they can be grown outdoors in the summer, then lifted and potted up in the greenhouse for the winter[48]. They can succeed outdoors in the mildest areas of the country if they are given the protection of a wall[K]. A plant in a sheltered wall garden at Greenways Garden in Devon had adopted a climbing habit and was 2 metres tall in May 1996. It is said to fruit freely[K]. Plants are very susceptible to whitefly when grown in a greenhouse[188]. This species is a parent of many of the hardy fuchsia hybrids[11]. Plants seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits[233]. A good bee plant[108]. For further Fuchsia coccinea gardening information |
