About this product

Fuchsia 'Genii'

2 Litre Pot

Plant Highlights: Bright golden foliage • Elegant pink and purple flowers • Long flowering season • Excellent for borders and containers

Overview

Fuchsia 'Genii' is a distinctive hardy fuchsia grown as much for its luminous golden-yellow foliage as for its graceful two-tone flowers. From summer into autumn, slender pink sepals open to reveal rich purple petals, creating a striking contrast against the bright leaves.

Supplied in a 2-litre pot, this compact deciduous perennial brings long-lasting colour to borders, patio containers and cottage-style planting schemes. The vibrant foliage remains an attractive feature throughout the growing season, even when the plant is not in flower.

Growing Guide

Position

Grow in full sun or partial shade. In sunnier positions, adequate soil moisture helps maintain the brightest foliage colour, while light afternoon shade can be beneficial in hotter weather.

Soil

Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Incorporating organic matter before planting helps retain moisture while improving drainage.

Watering

Keep well watered during the first growing season. Established plants are relatively resilient but will benefit from watering during extended dry periods, particularly when grown in containers.

Pruning

Leave the top growth in place over winter to help protect the crown. In spring, once new shoots appear, cut back any old stems to healthy new growth.

Perfect For

  • Mixed herbaceous borders
  • Cottage gardens
