Fuchsia 'Diva White & Violet' – Summer Bedding (Set of 3 or 6)

Fuchsia 'Diva White and Violet' is a bushy summer fuchsia, hung with two tone flowers from late spring to the first frosts.

The flowers dangle on fine stalks above mid green, serrated leaves, and the plant builds an upright, bushy shape around 30 to 45cm tall and 30 to 40cm across. It suits a patio pot, a basket or the front of a bed, where the flowers move in any breeze. Bees and butterflies work the flowers all season.

Most of the fuchsias we sell are the tender bedding and basket kind that frost kills, grown as summer colour, so plant it out only once the frosts have passed. It does best in light shade or morning sun in soil that stays moist, as flowers drop in hot, dry spells. Each plant arrives as an established 1L rootball grown in peat free compost, often already in bud or bloom, so it can go straight out.
