Fuchsia Electric Lights 180MM

Fuchsia hybrid 'NuFu1' Electric Lights

I am Fuchsia Electric Lights. My family originated from Central and South America.

Habit Shrub - Long Flowering

Plant family Onagraceae

I am a small growing upright Fuchsia bred for my spectacular flowering and hardiness. My numerous blooms are a combination of an intense purple with a cerise skirt living up to my name, 'Electric Lights'. My blooms are most prolific in summer but I will flower for most of the year in the right conditions. My flowers are complimented by my lush green foliage. I am just at home in a hanging basket or pot as I am planted out in the garden. I am hardy to frost but enjoy regular moisture during warmer periods. I will thrive in most well drained soils and enjoy a regular feed. My blooms are a magnet for nectar feeding birds such as honeyeaters and spinebills.

I am popular and will make you happy because...
