Fuchsia Maori Maid is a semi-trailing fuchsia which features gorgeous semi-double flowers with striking colour contrast and trailing stems of bright green foliage. Its sepals are a vibrant red, arching gracefully to reveal a corolla of rich violet-blue. This mid-season bloomer produces flowers all summer long making it excellent for planters, hanging baskets and flower beds. Prefers partly shaded areas. 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. Attracts hummingbirds and other pollinators.
