Author Message   Heathergirl  Supporting Member My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Monday, June 04, 2007 - 04:05 am EST :    Does anyone have experience with this fuchsia in the UK? I would love to have one but wonder how well it does and also where to look for it. So far I am struggling to find one. There is one nursery that is searching for me but they say it's difficult to get hold of. I first saw one at the RHS gardens in Harlow Carr but they never seem to have the plants for sale that you see in their gardens.

I will see what our nursery can come up with but if 'no joy', then I will have a look at these sites.

This one stands up to 12F freezes and comes back like gangbusters. I don't even mulch it like I do with my other hardies. Should you not be able to find a local source; I'll collect seed for you.

I feel fairly confident that I'll be able to find one, just takes a bit of time.
