Hi, can anyone suggest a hardy fuschia suitable for my garden. Its NW
facing and i intended to grow it on the side that gets most sun. Its
basically a clay soil but i have put loads of stuff in and its no where
near as bad as it first was.

Riccartoni is another one. It is amazing how many Fuschias that wre
prevuiosly considered half hardy are in reality hardy. Perhaps we may
have been lulled into a false sense of security by the recent mildish
winters. Only time will tell.


I have a large Ricartonii Fuchsia hedge and it is as tough as old boots
and always does well in Sth.Glos.
