Fuchsia

Fuchsia

Fuchsia x hybrida

Popular and showy, this beauty is usually seen growing in hanging baskets. It does best with less than four hours of sun and it prefers filtered light.  It requires daily watering but, even if it does not lack water, the plant may wilt during the heat of the day.

This variety of fuchsia also makes a nice indoor plant and it likes to be near a window where it can get filtered sunlight. In late spring or early summer it can be moved to a shady spot outdoors, but it needs to go back inside in early fall — it won’t tolerate frost.
