Default Newbie Fuchsia question

Hello

I am in Vancouver Wash (zone 6 i think) My wife and i started getting
into gardening last year and we had alot of fun. I saw a White Eyes
Fuchsia today and just had to have it! Its beautiful and about 3 1/2 ft
high. I have found out that it likes the shade and loves water. And i
also heard from someone at work that they can be rather picky or even
tough to geep alive. And this western garden books says that mites? like
them also. I guess im just looking for hints or ideas you have gathered
over the years about your Fuchsia's over the years.
Thanks you in advance for any help

I have excellent results in one spot northeast corner of porch, plant
hangs and receives full morning sun then shade for the rest of the
day. I really beleive these things love the morning sun. I water it
every night and every 2 weeks with 50% solution Miracle Grow.

Good luck they are beutiful
