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 ‘Kath Wilson’ is an upright shrub fuchsia with orange petals and pink-white sepals. It’s well suited to growing in a mixed herbaceous border in part shade, or in a pot on a sheltered, part-shaded patio.
