©1998

Family: Onagraceae

Pronounced: FEWK-see-ah

Geographic Origin
Garden.

Plant Group
Sub shrub.

Attributes

Flowering period
Summer until first frost.

Flowering attributes
Double flowers with white sepals and lavender to purple corollas.

Culture

Light
Partial shade

Soil
Humus rich, well-drained soil.

Feeding
Since it is usually grown in a hanging basket I like to fertilize weekly with a soluble fertilizer mixed 1/2 strength. While actively growing in the greenhouse I give a very weak solution of water-soluble fertilizer every time it is watered until it is acclimated outside.

Miscellaneous

Propagation Methods
Semi-ripe cuttings in late summer, winter over in a cool greenhouse.

Pruning Methods
Pinch out new growth in spring to encourage bushiness.

Rainy Side Notes

This is wintered over in the greenhouse in its hanging basket. In February. I repot it with fresh soil. Once growth begins. I fertilize regularly. This is an easy fuchsia for hanging basket culture.
