Plant details
The huge frilly flowers of 'Deep Purple' are sure to make an impact in your summer displays. The velvety royal purple skirts are set off beautifully by the contrasting white petals. The stems are naturally lax in habit, making this an excellent variety for hanging baskets and the edges of containers where it will trail down the sides. Native to South America, this type of fuchsia is not hardy in the UK. To ensure a show the following year, take cuttings from your plants in late summer and overwinter plants in a light, frost-free place.
