Fuchsia Magellanica ‘Versicolor’

An RHS award-winning Fuchsia that deserves a place in every garden. This hardy, deciduous fuchsia is a novel twist on the popular Fuchsia magellanica, offering a winning combination of both beautiful flowers and foliage that provides a long season of interest. The light grey-green foliage is adorned with creamy edges and flushed pink when young. Fuchsia magellanica ‘Versicolor’ boasts a seemingly endless flowering season. From May to October, arching stems bear an abundance of slender, pendant blooms with cherry red sepals and purple petals.

This fast-growing shrub maximises space by delivering an extended season of colour in borders and containers. It can even be used as an informal hedging plant. Height and spread: 1.5m (5ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

An RHS award-winning Fuchsia that deserves a place in every garden. Grow Fuchsias on in warm, frost-free conditions. Pinch out the growing tips while fuchsia plants are still small to promote bushier growth and more flowers. When plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a 7 to 10 day period, before planting them in their final positions in patio containers and sunny or semi shaded borders.
