Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	We grow this in the shade of an old pear tree where its large, single, light-colored flowers really stand out. The foliage is slightly blue green and of good substance and the vivid burgundy leaf stems draw their color into the central vein of the leaves. The tube and sepals are a very pale pink. The corolla is violet blue with rose and white patches. Summer. 1.5 ft. x 1.5 ft. pink/violet blue/white flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 7, 8, 9*
In the maritime Pacific Northwest, we grow hardy Fuchsias in full sun where they bloom non-stop from late spring to first frost. In hotter climates, we recommend giving Fuchsias protection from the afternoon sun. Fuchsias make wonderful subjects in containers and for the mixed border.
