It forms a neat, compact, bushy shrub covered from summer to autumn in a profusion of small, classic bicoloured flowers with carmine-red tubes and sepals and a rich mauve-purple corolla. Unlike tender fuchsias, 'Tom Thumb' is reliably frost-hardy and will die back to the ground in winter before regenerating strongly in spring, eventually forming a small permanent shrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e fully hardy perennial shrub, compact and long-lived, prolific flowering over an extraordinarily long season, suitable for containers and borders, good for low edging hedges\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife attraction:\u003c\/b\u003e Bumblebees and hummingbird hawk-moths are strongly attracted to the flowers throughout summer and autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight \u0026amp; spread (approx.) at maturity:\u003c\/b\u003e 30–45cm x 40–50cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun to partial shade; very adaptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil pH:\u003c\/b\u003e Neutral; moist but well-drained, fertile soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoisture:\u003c\/b\u003e Moderate; water regularly in summer, particularly in containers.
