Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring after the last frost date
  • - Space plants 12-18 inches apart, depending on the variety

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0
  • - Rich, well-draining soil or a good potting soil

Watering Specifics:

  • - Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer weekly during the growing season
  • - Switch to a high-potassium fertilizer in late summer to encourage blooming

Pruning and Training:

  • - Plants can be trimmed back by 1/3 once the flowering slows down. This will help the plant to push out a new round of flowers.

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Watch for common pests like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites
  • - Monitor for diseases such as botrytis and root rot in overly wet conditions

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Produces pendant-shaped flowers in various color combinations
  • - Blooms continuously from late spring through fall

Light Requirements:

  • - Prefers partial shade
  • - Protect from harsh afternoon sun, especially in hot climates

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Thrives in temperatures between 55-80°F
  • - Cannot tolerate frost; bring indoors or protect when temperatures drop below 40°F
  • - May stop blooming in extreme heat

Companion Plants for Fuchsia:

Fuchsias pair well with plants that thrive in similar shaded, moist conditions and complement their pendulous blooms. Some excellent companions include:

  • - Begonias: These shade-loving plants offer attractive foliage and flowers
  • - Impatiens: Providing a carpet of colorful blooms in shaded areas
  • - Coleus: With their vibrant foliage, coleus add texture and color contrast
  • - Heuchera: These perennials offer attractive foliage in various colors

Excellent, As Always

GrowJoy is top of the line when it comes to packaging for shipping, & healthy plants. This plant arrived in great condition, & started to grow immediately. I can't wait to see what it looks like as a full-grown fuchsia. My hummingbirds LOVE these plants, & feast on it all summer (& into the Fall). Thank you GrowJoy!
