Positive PedricksCorner On Aug 26, 2008, PedricksCorner from Freedom, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Grace is usually grown as a hanging basket fuchsia. But in hanging baskets, most fuchsia don't last very long because they require more water in the heat than most people can handle. So if it is grown in a large container near the ground where the roots can stay cool and moist, it will live for many years.
