Being a new-ish gardener and a bit of a fool I bought 8 hardy fuchsias for a
tenner
last August. Planted them out (far too late) and sat back & waited. That late
snow we
had had me cussing good and proper. Well, the headcount is better than I
expected.
Four have definitely survived, two are maybes (or wishful thinking) and the
two
Thalias were probably doomed from the start.
A good result all in all.

Are you *quite* sure that you were sold F. 'Thalia' as hardy?

Absolutely. And I found a website that said they might be. As we're pretty far south
and south-facing I thought I'd risk it. They were all an impulse buy anyway.
