Fuchsia splendens 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 very adaptable plant, it tolerates the heavy shade of a north-facing wall and also a position in full sun, though the foliage is apt to be somewhat pale when plants grow in full sun[104]. This species is only hardy in the mildest parts of Britain, doing well in Cornwall and S. Devon[104, 166]. A plant at Trengwainton in Cornwall growing out of a shady wall was about 2 metres tall and fruiting heavily in early August 1995[K]. Plants can be cut back by severe frosts but they usually recover well. Plants require greenhouse protection in most parts of Britain[1]. Plants are very susceptible to whitefly[188]. Plants seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits[233]. For further Fuchsia splendens gardening information |
