An upright Fuchsia which was bred in the UK that recieved an Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Bears many single, long tubed flowers with salmon pink sepals and corollas.

Flowers mainly from mid-summer to mid-autumn

Needs a well drained but moist soil in light shade. Like many Fuchsia cultivars it dislikes hot summers and full sun all day. Not very tolerant of frost.

Won't come true from seed but is very easily propagated by cuttings, preferably taken in the Spring prior to flowering.
