Fuchsia sport
I have an unknown variegated fuchsia (leaves green centre, white margins
with pink tinge - red slender flower with magenta centre) It has thrown a sport which has green leaves with red veins (cutting just coming into flower) Is this a known habit of a known variety or have I got something new? -- Jim S Tyneside UK www.jimscott.co.uk |

You might have 'Gracilis Tricolor'. This does in my experience tend to vary, producing green shouts, or shoots without the pink tinge. But I don't recall a variant with red-veined leaves. (Looking at my cuttings, there's some red on the underside of the mid-rib.) -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

We have that and there is considerable variation in its leaf markings. It has red veins and the younger growth, in particular, has very pink leaves. Some of our has green bits in it too and apparenntly it is known for a good deal of variation. This is a pic of ours which is a very mature plant: http://i37.tinypic.com/mwtno8.jpg -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |
