Hello everyone. I recently attempted to take some softwood cuttings from
my dad's fuchsia plant, being a complete beginner I'm not holding out a
great deal of hope that they'll root. So, I spotted a fuchsia in a
garden centre recently called 'tom thumb' I assumed it would grow to
the same kind of size as my dad's which is curently about one metre
across and one metre high, however, when I *read the information which
came with the plant, it said size: up to 30cm tall and 30cm across I
did a quick internet search which described this as a dwarf variety.

The clue is in the name - don't people know fairy stories any more ?

had planted it right outside the living room window expecting it to
spread, if this isn't going to be the case are there any fuchsias which
become very large & which spread quite quickly? Thanks.

Fuchsia Magellanica will grow 2m tall and probably survive the winter at
that height (depending on where you live )

So may Fuchsia ricartonii or F. 'Mrs. Popple'. *Choose the latter if you
prefer larger flowers.

To many to list, Do a google image search for hardy fuchsias and see
what you like the look of, As a rule the more simple the flower the
more hardy the fuchsia.
I like Genii, yellow foliage good flower and hardy.
