Bush Fuchsias make a striking effect in garden pots and containers. They are easy to grow and provide instant impact for all gardens, patios or balconies. They are much loved for their bi coloured blooms, with thousands of varieties, in numerous vibrant shades available.
Fuchsias are a fabulous option for British gardens, because they can really tolerate our unpredictable climate. The outer petals, are called sepals, they protect the flower petals underneath. Fuchsias are known, for attracting bees and butterflies.

    Pruning - Spring time after frosts, it is good to cut back and prune, to promote a new growth.

    Our pot & plant size explained

    At Newlands Nursery we grow and sell plants in a variety of different sizes, from small starter plants up to planted containers. 

    We know it can be tricky to picture the size of each plant. This page gives you an idea of the size of the plants we are sending out.

    Please keep in mind that plants vary from one season to the next. The size of the plant refers to the pot or plug it is grown in, rather than the height of the plant, unless specifically mentioned on the plant page.

    Plug Size: 2cm by 4cm. Our most popular size. This is often the most economical way of buying plants and is a great way to get a head start on the season. Generally this size is best to be potted up before planting out.
