Can you take cuttings from Fuchsia 'Riccartonii' just now and will they flower this year. Great insight, thanks 👍

You should be able to take cuttings either as softwood or semi-hardwood - hope that helps -Sean

Great video. Was wondering what the vertical flower variety is that Colin mentioned?

Appreciate that you used our American Fahrenheit and inches! I am in zone 8b, a mild winter northwestern state due to being near a river and the ocean. I have two new fuchsia varieties I am going to try on a patio: Voodoo, and Delta’s Sarah. I do not see a lot about them on their tags. Online I read you can eat the flowers? Is that true, and does it taste flowery?

Hi. In theory yes although not with the miniature types as though don’t have the vigour to make the standard’s stem. Strong growing types make the best standards Thanks for watching P&T Martin

Thank you for the information. I am in US zone 9a. It is early February and I unwittingly snapped off my seemingly dead Fuchsia at the base, I mean down to the ground. Did I kill it?

If it’s a hardy fuchsia it should grow from below soil level in spring. Martin

Please can you tell me how to avoid fuchsia gallmite. I can't seem to get rid of in. From Jenny in Jersey, Channel Islands

I’m afraid hall mites can be a problem in some areas. The advice is to cut the plants hard back when the mite is spotted and dispose of the prunings. Water and feed to encourage new growth. Martin

Will any of these varieties do well in zone 5?

I suspect you'd have to bring them in during the winter as you get quite low temperatures - there's a possibility that the hardiest might survive if you have a sheltered part of the garden but couldn't guarantee it - we don't get anything like those temperatures here! -Sean

Would these thrive on the Gulf coast of Texas? Can they take heat in the 90s during the summer?

Hey Brandon and thanks for watching! Obviously it doesn't often hit those temperatures here in England, but as I understand it, there's the odd variety that will stand up to 90 but most varieties like it lower than 80 degrees F and humid - maybe if it's well cared for and in the shade you might get away with it, but otherwise look for the heat tolerant varieties! - Good luck! -Sean

Brandonallen9853 I frequently get 90-100 in the summer, but have a higher humidity as I am in zone 8b PNW off the Puget Sound coast. I keep mine in a shady spot along side of our shop. I overwinter in my garage which stays at 50 degrees. I cut off all the seed heads before bringing in and cover with brown paper bag. I water about every 3 weeks throughout the winter.

Yeah, I live in PNW Zone 8b as well, but in Clark County nearer the border to Oregon, and we had a 115 degree summer day during Covid! 😂 While apartment manager at the time cruelly gave my potted fuchsia away without my permission, I had one overwinter in a pot facing west full sun (although between some Iris) and just brought it into the more protected and more shaded patio for the winter. I agree that you should seek specific varieties, ask your local garden nursery and NOT ask “Home Depot” or “Walmart” as the genuine nursery ought to have experts in your specific area what grows and don’t.

Any idea which type grows as a tree ?

None grow as a large tree but all the bush types can be trained as a standard with a straight stem with a branching head on top.

@@hamidhamidi3134 You will need a support if training to look like a tree. You can store in your garage during winter, (my garage stays at 50 degrees) just remove all flowers, seed heads and wrap with a brown paper bag. Water about every 3 weeks to keep soil moist.
