Fuchsia 'Dollar Princess' – Hardy Fuchsia (3L Pot)

Fuchsia 'Dollar Princess' is a hardy fuchsia with double flowers, cerise red sepals around a rich purple corolla.

It grows upright and bushy at around 60 to 90cm tall and 45 to 60cm across, and the heavy bell shaped blooms hang from the stems from June until the first frosts. It suits a border, a patio container, a window box or a balcony pot. Bees and butterflies work the flowers.

This is one of the hardy border fuchsias, so it can stay in the ground all year. In a cold winter the top growth dies back and fresh shoots come from the base in spring. It does best in light shade or morning sun in soil that stays moist, as flowers drop in hot, dry spells. It holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Supplied as an established plant in a 19cm 3L pot, delivered garden ready with no potting on needed.
