FUCHSIA, Bella Rosella (Giant)

Bella Rosella is an exceptional fuchsia with double blooms which can grow up to 4 inch (10cm) across. This hummingbird magnet features dark pink double blooms, with pale pink sepals. The lush and bright green leaves are a great complement. A mounded branching form produces clusters of these gorgeous flowers all summer, making this a showstopper in any garden.  This vigorous mid-season bloomer is perfect for large patio pots or hanging baskets in part sun or shade. Protect the plants from harsh afternoon sun, and from drying winds and frost. Remove spent blooms or dead head them throughout the season to keep the blooms coming.
