Fuchsia's grow very fast this time of year, you should feed it every two weeks with a balanced food. I don't do time released, because you can't know when they have actually run out, since how often a plant is watered, depends on the weather.
I have one big bush I hope to have a photo of in bloom soon, that was just a cutting last year and is now four feet tall!
But the biggest and oldest fuchsia I have is Magellanica. If I didn't keep it pruned, it could get up to ten feet high. Mine is 15 years old and the trunk has a beautiful bark which I think ads to it's beauty. Here is a close up of a few flowers. It is a covered with these right now and a female Anna's hummingbird stays close to it all day!
