When looking at fuchsias in full flower the flowers remind me of ballerinas dancing, slender legs and a full ruffled skirt, flowing gracefully.

Fuchsias are looking stunning now and there wouldn’t be a more spectacular hanging basket plant in the spring.

Fuchsias require a light but cool position. A morning sun position throughout September is ideal.

A liquid feed with PowerFeed PRO Series Plant Food Roses & Flowers (50mL concentrate per 9 litres of water – standard watering can)  fortnightly and prune back hard at the first signs of looking straggly, even if there are some flowers at the growing tips.

They will soon look gorgeous again.
