Fuchsia

We always had lots of beautiful fuchsias in the garden at the old house. The climate there seemed to really suit them. Here in Herefordshire the climate suits me better ( much sunnier, warmer and drier :)) but not the fuchsias. We planted them as we always have done but they haven't done well. Although they've been well watered I think it's just been too hot for them. I found this one this afternoon which I thought was worthy of a photo. It's the first fuchsia photo I've taken this year and I usually take loads.

A beautiful fuchsia and I should know its name - I used to have this one . The outdoor "old faithful " is coming to flower just now - but the ones I bought this year have not faired well at all ! - too hat and dry in spite of watering !

Beautiful, perhaps they will do better next year when they have time to acclimatise or we get plenty of rain to penetrate deep into the soil

It’s beautiful and looks a lot better than ours which haven’t done well at all Fav

Yours is a new garden so they have to bed themselves in perhaps, these look nice specimens to me though!

They look gorgeous. I tried to raise one in a pot once but our climate is much more hot and it didn't survive a whole season besides producing a couple of tiny flowers.

They're such pretty flowers, maybe they just need a season to re establish :)

These are beautiful! I've found mine haven't done much this year also not from a lack of water!
