Abutilon megaponticum
£7.95
The red and yellow flowers on Abutilon megaponticum hang like bells on arching stems, although this is not the hardiest shrub I have known it to survive locally for up to 7 years so it’s probably coped with lower than – 5c . A nice warm wall would help, or if you’re in a coastal area you’d be fine. It is worth the effort as this is a real eye catcher always popular here at the nursery.
Plants are supplied in a 1ltr pot.

Fuchsia microphylla
Fuchsia microphylla is one of the most rewarding hardy fuchsias to grow, when it is in full flower although the blooms are small the whole bush is covered in them creating almost a magenta cloud! Although I am assured it can get taller here, it rarely gets taller than 1mtr in warmer areas it would grow from the hard wood frame but here we cut it back to 20cms in the spring and off it goes shooting up to 1mtr. Still flowering here well into November if we haven't had a frost!
Plants are supplied in a 9cm pot.

In May small palest pink bell shaped flowers appear, maybe the common name should have been the lily of the valley tree.It is best grown in a sunny sheltered spot, if you don't have one it's equally happy in a pot so that you can move it under cover for the winter.

Fuchsia magellanica “Lady Bacon”
Fuchsia "Lady Bacon" is a strong growing, hardy fuchsia, it really earns it's keep flowering all summer. After a cold winter it may need pruning so that it grows from the base but most years it can be left to grow from the hard wood frame. It's delicate pink, mauve and white flowers smother the plants.
