Fuchsia 'Patio Princess' – Bush Fuchsia (5L Pot)

Fuchsia 'Patio Princess' is a bush fuchsia, hung with bicolour pendant flowers from late spring right through autumn.

It is a compact upright deciduous shrub around 40 to 50cm tall and wide, and the blooms hang from slender stems above neat green foliage so the plant moves gently in a breeze. That tidy mounded shape suits patio containers, mixed borders, window boxes and decorative planters. Bees and butterflies work the flowers.

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. Supplied as a large, well established 5L pot grown plant raised in peat free compost at our Yorkshire nursery and delivered in plastic free packaging.
