Blooming Season: Late Spring, Summer, Early Spring, Spring. Early-flowering fuchsia gives excellent presentation in Spring weather conditions. Height: 8 - 16" (20 - 41cm), width: 10 - 14" (25 - 36cm).
Fuchsias like to be moist but not soggy. They thrive in humidity, so if you live somewhere dry, they are a little more challenging to grow and keep hydrated.
These plants thrive in part shade to deep shade conditions. When growing them indoors, they enjoy a bit more light—bright indirect light rather than direct sunlight.
During the blooming season, fuchsias have a huge appetite, so you have to feed them regularly with diluted liquid fertilizer. Many are available, and a combination of fish emulsion and seaweed can work well.
Fushia plants prefer consistently moist (but not soggy) soil with a good ratio of organic matter. At the same time, the soil should be well-draining. For in-ground plants, amending with peat moss or compost before planting is a good idea. Container plants do fine in an ordinary peat-based potting mix, provided the pot has good drainage.
Fuchsias are happiest with temperatures between 55 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, though there are some heat-tolerant cultivars that will keep their blooms up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. There are also a few shrub-like varieties that are hardy in freezing temperatures.
