Reviews

This is my first year for growing Fuchsia, and I ordered three of these which came in great condition and are doing great. I have them in three different container plantings- one with begonias and a penta, one on it's own and one with torenia. The one one it's own is getting larger and it's also getting five hours of direct sun 12-5 in Atlanta. The others are great, and the leaves are very beautiful with four hours of sun from 11-3. Just now at the end of May, I am seeing it at my local garden nursery, but I am so pleased that I got them early from Garden Crossings. I also found the Gardenmeister there which has the dark green foliage, so I am trying it too. This was my first year to order plants online, and I am very happy I did.

Tried Fuchsia Firecracker for the first time last summer. I loved it! I planted it with Rockapulco impatiens in a window box, and put the fuchsia in the center as a thriller. It's a fun and unique accent plant.
