There seems to be two camps. Those of us looking for fuchsias which can survive the cold and those of us looking for fuchsias which can survive the heat. Not that we need to be divided here though! It is just the way information out there tends to be found. I am hoping to compile better lists that combine several of the attributes people have asked me about. It would be nice to have a list that tells us which varieties of fuchsias are both cold and heat hardy.
Due to the current heat wave in my area, I will be looking to see which ones in my collection have sustained damage and how severe that damage is or isn't.
For instance, I think PNWMountainGirl will be happy to hear that if her mystery fuchsia is indeed Charlie Girl, this is one in my collection which has no evidence of any damage at all so far! And it is next to ones which have had all of their blossoms burned at least a bit.
Here are another two which are proving to be able to brave temps up to 104 in the full sun.
Chang is the orange one and the other is Gordon's China Rose.
