In our climate, much is winding down for the summer but our hardy fuschias keep adding new and exciting blooms to our gardens. Would love to see how they are doing elsewhere.

This fuschia has been in the ground here for at least four years and is doing better this year now that our heavy snows took down a corkscrew willow that was shading it. It dies back to the ground each winter and is slow in showing itself in the spring. It is now about 24 inches tall and I have great hopes for next year now that it gets better light.
I planted it when it was probably just identified as "hardy fuschia". Pedrickscorner thought it might be Charlie Girl.

PS, those large leaves are morning glory, not the fuschia!
