FUCHSIA ‘Dying Embers’ 3L

Fuchsia Dying Embers is a deciduous shrub fuchsia for containers and mixed borders in Ireland, forming a bushy plant with the elegant, pendent blooms typical of the genus from summer into early autumn. Grow in a sheltered spot with sun or light shade, in moistureretentive but welldrained, fertile soil. In early spring, prune back dead or weak growth to encourage vigorous new shoots and plentiful flowers; mulch to conserve moisture in summer. In colder areas or when grown in containers, provide winter protection from hard frost.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
