Fuchsia Fuchsita Red White

Common name: Fuchsia

Description: Fuchsia 'Fuchsita Red White' is a crisp, eye-catching compact upright fuchsia in the Fuchsita series, producing a continuous succession of elegant bicoloured flowers with vivid scarlet-red tubes and sepals above a pure white corolla from early summer through to autumn. The bold red-and-white contrast is particularly clean and striking, and the neat, bushy plants perform well in patio containers, window boxes, and summer bedding displays.

Other benefits: continuous prolific flowering, crisp and striking colour contrast, compact upright habit, excellent for containers and patio displays

Wildlife attraction: Bumblebees and other long-tongued insects are attracted to the tubular flowers.

Soil pH: Neutral; moist, fertile, well-drained compost.

Moisture: Water regularly and keep evenly moist. Feed fortnightly.

Winter hardiness: Frost-tender; plant out after the last frosts (mid-May in most of the UK). Lift or discard before the first autumn frosts.
