Fuchias for dramatic shade foliage
There are literally hundreds of species of Fuchsia, our Living Fashion Fuchsia is a 'triphylla' type with drooping tubular flowers but the main attractiveness of our selection is in the foliage rather than the flowers. Fuchsia tryphylla will grow in a number of habitats but were originally found in mountainous areas of the Carribean and Haiti, amongst other areas. They tend to favour part shade and temperatures under the mid 20's in the daytime and over 15 degrees at night, so the Northern New Zealand Climate suits them rather well. Fuchsia triphylla hybrids also suit pot or container cultivation well, an option for cooler areas as pots can be brought in to warmer areas for the winter.
