Fuchsia microphylla Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in any fertile well-drained circum-neutral soil[200]. Succeeds in a good loam if sand and leafmold are added[1]. A plant at Heligan gardens in Cornwall is thriving and fruiting well in the fairly deep shade of a woodland garden[K]. This species is hardy in many parts of Britain according to some reports[11, 48], though others say that it is best grown in a greenhouse[1]. A plant growing in a sheltered position outside a greenhouse at Oxford Botanic Gardens seems to be hardy there[K]. Since Oxford experiences lots of frosts and usually some snow in the winter, this suggests that it is possible to grow this species in many parts of Britain, especially if grown against a wall[K]. Plants seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits[233]. A good bee plant[108]. A polymorphic species, a number of sub-species are recognised[11].
