Fuchsia 'Turkish Delight'

 

Fuchsia 'Turkish Delight'

Fuchsia 'Turkish Delight' is a lush cultivar with loads of cerise and iris blue-plum coloured blooms. Compact, bushy growth, covers itself in flowers, self branching. Ideal patio fuchsia, also suitable for smaller standards. Hardy types tend to be the larger bush or hedging type, with simple single flowers, which as the name suggests will over winter well.
