GORGEOUS! I love plants that create statements in the garden, and this one certainly does, as its vibrant blooms cascade downward.

This has to be one of my favourite plants. Each Spring I worry it's not going to come up again but it has done for the past 5 years and grows so large in such a short season! The leaves are like a foals muzzle and it will still be in flower in mid November.

I highly recommend this one to any Fuchsia lover who has the space trouble is I've never managed to root a cutting :( Still that's a small price to pay for it growing so well.

It certainly is a beautiful cascading plant and I DO love fuchsia. I will try and see if I can locate seeds here in the U.S. Thanks for introducing me to this new variety of fuchsia.

again my pleasure :) You can probably find this one as a plant.
