Hey California! Where are all of the fuchsia gardeners out there!? I am looking for old fashioned fuchsia's in old gardens. Everywhere I go, I look for big old bushes next to older homes. I love the big simple ones.
Right now, my favorite is the Duchess of Albany. Not that she is one of the old fashioned ones, she is just doing so well! This bush is just blowing me away this year with how big and fast it is growing! Last year it was in a little 4" pot. Now it is in a 15 gallon container and is three feet tall and covered with blossoms. The hummingbirds love it too!
