Fuchsias

We grow a wide range of fuchsias here at the nursery, mainly from our own stock but also from the many breeders around the world, new introductions being added each year.

 In the early spring months  we have mainly Mini-Pot Starter plants for sale together with "whips" from which you can grow your own standards. In late spring fully grown plants take over  as well as fuchsia hanging baskets
