Pair of Potted Fuchsia Trees 80-90cm Tall

Product Information

New shoots should appear from the cutting in spring and these can be pottedinto individual pots in late spring Coastal central Chile. This section is made up of a single species with pendulous axillary pedicels. The leaves are sparse. The sepals are reflexed and slightly shorter than the tube. The derivation of the common name notsung is not entirely clear. It could be derived from the original Khoisan name. Marloth thought that it was derived from the name nutzeng meaning usufruct (the right of temporary possession of what is another's on condition that such possession causes no damage to it) given to it by early German foresters employed at the Cape, where these foresters had free use of the wood and fruits without need for a permit. The name tree fuchsia was acquired because of its fuchsia-like flowers. It has also been known as the white olive, witolienhout and witolyfhout as the quality of its timber is suggestive of that of the olive. New sideshoots will be produced at the top of the plant, which will form the head of the standard. Pinch out the tips of each sideshoot when it has 2-4 sets of leaves. Continue pinch pruning until a rounded head has formed. Berry P. E.; etal. (1988). "Fuchsia pachyrrhiza (Onagraceae), a tuberous new species and section of Fuchsia from western Peru".

Flower shape is also a key attraction. Choose betweenfull-on doubles, slender single bells and most things in between When planting in the ground, plant the base of the stem 5cm below the soil surface and provide a deep winter mulch and shelter from the wind. Water fuchsia plants sufficiently to keep the compost moist but not waterlogged and do not leave plants standing in water. Tom West’: small, single flowers; variegated foliage; red sepals and purple petals; drooping habit (to 30 cm). Standard fuchsias will need to be moved to a frost-free position during the winter months to protect their vulnerable stem from frost damage. You should do this regardless of how hardy the variety is.Once you have made the preparations listed and pruned your fuchsias, nothing stands in the way of overwintering. Here, there is both the possibility of leaving the fuchsias in open ground or moving them to winter quarters as potted plants. Below we have summarised the most important points for you once again. Overwintering fuchsias in flowerbeds Throughout the nineteenth century, plant-collecting fever spread throughout Europe and the United States. Many species of numerous genera were introduced, some as living plants, others as seed. The following fuchsias were recorded in England at Kew: F. lycioides, 1796; F. arborescens, 1824; F. microphylla, 1827; F. fulgens, 1830; F. corymbiflora, 1840; and F. apetala, F. decussata, F. dependens and F. serratifolia in 1843 and 1844, the last four species attributable to Messrs. Veitch of Exeter.

Fuchsia paniculata : Also known as lilac-flowered fuchsia, it is ideal for planting in pots. The species is easy to care for and forms many small flowers that grow in clusters. The blue seeds are edible and can be made into jam, among other things. In the UK, 60 cultivated varieties of fuchsia have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, including:- [22] Scarlet fuchsia ( Fuchsia magellanica): This species grows as a shrub from 1.5 to 3 metres in height; there are several subspecies. Particularly pretty varieties:

Feeding and watering fuchsias

Horticultural fuchsias may be categorised as upright and bushy, or trailing. Some can be trained as hedges, such as F. magellanica. Faster-growing varieties are easiest to train. [21] Care should be taken to choose the hardier cultivars for permanent plantings in the garden as many popular upright Fuchsias such as 'Ernie', 'Jollies Nantes' and 'Maria Landy' are not reliably winter hardy, [6] but rather extremely tender ( hardiness zone 10). When pronounced as scientific Latin name, the pronunciation would be "fookh-see-a", if one applies the rule that the root word in honorific Latin names should follow as much as possible the original pronunciation of the name of the person the plant is named for, plus the standard pronunciation of the Latin suffix. In practice, however, English-speaking botanists often pronounce it the same as the common name, "fyu-sha".
