January 9, 2009, Newsletter Issue #246: Hardy Fuchsia.
Tip of the Week
Hardy Fuchsias, such as Fuchsia riccartonii, F gracillis versicolor, F. magellanica , F. "Genii",
F. "Mrs Popple"and F. "Phyllis" , to name but a few recognised hardy types are best pruned every year during early April by Simply cutting all the branches down to ground level.
The bushes will grow quickly from the base and flower at the normal time , but will be bushy and more compact.
Fuchsias , left to their own devices, can become overly large and flower at the tips of the branches. If you have such a plant do not hesitate to cut it back hard too, your reward is a rejuvenated bushy and more floriferous plant.
