Linda Mary Nutt.
This is Miss
Versatility of the fuchsia world. Another classic true single with
character. This fuchsia is good for everything. Has proved hardy for three
years in exposed Lancashire. Initially it was one of those seedlings give
second chance and what a good decision it was. This compact growing
cultivar is a joy to grow. It is so versatile. Apart from being hardy it has many other attributes. It has a strong pedicel which supports the
flower very well. A true single with a short bright red tube and sepals.
The sepals proudly recurve then arch to expose a true single corolla. The
colour of the petals are difficult to describe. Dusky pink seems to suit.
The petals are further enhanced by a scarlet edge. This is
more noticeable when the flower first opens A very
vigorous cultivar when grown in a pot or container and flowers its head
off all summer. It is impervious to the weather. Not suitable for baskets but should
make an excellent standard. I really like this one. I will bed it out in
my front garden. |
