Plant Features

Southgate Fuchsia Plants offer a semi-trailing habit with pale pink and green washed sepals below which a tightly ruffled double skirt of baby pink gives way to wispy pink stamens. These angelic, fairy-tale blooms are self cleaning, and will trail and spill across your container!

Our Southgate Fuchsia Plants are grown without harmful pesticides, ensuring they are safe for your garden and the environment. Guaranteed to arrive alive and thriving!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring after the last frost date
  • - Space plants 12-18 inches apart, depending on the variety

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0
  • - Rich, well-draining soil or a good potting soil

Watering Specifics:

  • - Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer weekly during the growing season
  • - Switch to a high-potassium fertilizer in late summer to encourage blooming

Pruning and Training:

  • - Plants can be trimmed back by 1/3 once the flowering slows down. This will help the plant to push out a new round of flowers.

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Watch for common pests like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites
  • - Monitor for diseases such as botrytis and root rot in overly wet conditions

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Produces pendant-shaped flowers in various color combinations
  • - Blooms continuously from late spring through fall

Light Requirements:

  • - Prefers partial shade
  • - Protect from harsh afternoon sun, especially in hot climates

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Thrives in temperatures between 55-80°F
  • - Cannot tolerate frost; bring indoors or protect when temperatures drop below 40°F
  • - May stop blooming in extreme heat

Companion Plants for Fuchsia:

Fuchsias pair well with plants that thrive in similar shaded, moist conditions and complement their pendulous blooms. Some excellent companions include:

  • - Begonias: These shade-loving plants offer attractive foliage and flowers
  • - Impatiens: Providing a carpet of colorful blooms in shaded areas
  • - Coleus: With their vibrant foliage, coleus add texture and color contrast
  • - Heuchera: These perennials offer attractive foliage in various colors
  • - Lobelia: Their small, delicate flowers complement the larger fuchsia blooms

This plant though small, appears very healthy. Was well packaged and started growing soon as it was planted.

Healthy plants

I was delighted to receive my Southgate Fuchsia Plant orders. They were packed ingeniously in little plant "boxes" that protected their tender foliage. They were nice, healthy plants with a good root ball that I was able to plant in hanging baskets the same day. Looking forward to watching them grow!

Southgate Light Pink Fuchsia

My Southgate Fuchsia plant arrived in good condition. It is a delicate plant that requires cool temperature conditions. My plant did not survive the Houston heat on my patio. Next time, it will stay indoors.
