Fuchsia microphylla
£4.95
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.

Abutilon megaponticum
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.
