Fuchsias are a popular choice for summer bedding schemes and containers, due to their attractive, usually pendent flowers from summer to autumn. Some are hardy enough to be used in perennial planting schemes, and may even be clipped into a low-growing hedge.
All fuchsias benefit from fertile, moist but well-drained soil, in a sheltered spot in partial shade.
Fuchsia 'Cloth of Gold' has toothed, yellow-green leaves, and pretty, single tubular flowers with maroon petals and red sepals. Grow it in pots on the patio in partial shade – plants should be overwintered indoors.
