Fuchsia 'Tom Thumb'

Fuchsia 'Tom Thumb is a compact, deciduous shrub with an upright, self-branching habit. This really lovely fuchsia has ovate, dark green leaves and is covered in masses of small, single bell-shaped blooms that flower over a long period from June to October. The attractive flowers have red-pink corollas and sepals as well as mauve tubes. Its dwarf variety is perfect for planting in borders, rock gardens and containers or for creating a colourful low hedge.

Plant in fertile, moist, well-drained soil and in full sun or partial shade. Water regularly, applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month during the growing season. Pinch out the growing tips of young plants after the sixth or seventh pair of leaves to encourage continuous growth. Cut back to the permanent framework in early spring.
