Fuchsia 'Miniature Collection'

Perennial

These are special - mini fuchsias! They all grow in a compact manner and flower from early on in the season and smother themselves in pretty flowers. You look after them just the same as all your fuchsias and they are easy. For something different this year give these a go. We grew some into tiny 'standard' fuchsias and they looked great on the patio table - easy to do yourself and a great way to display them. Height: 25cm (10"). Spread: 20cm (8").

Pot up plugs in 7cm pots and grow them on in warm frost free conditions until large enough to transplant into final containers. Pinch out the growing points where stems have more than 2 sets of leaves, while the plants are still small. This will encourage the plants to produce more stems, making a bushier plant with more flowers.
When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise fuchsia plants to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days. For their final position, grow fuchsia plants in a sunny or semi shaded site. Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season. Deadhead faded fuchsia flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced.
