This well renown german Fuchsia-breeder died a few days ago. This is sad news. But his cultivars remain with us, pleasing us with an early blossoming in abundance- if the plant is properly nourished-, above that being of a merry appearance. This zest for life should forever been accompanied with him!
About 1994 he crossbreeded the Fuchsia-cultivars Lisi and Fenja, waiting until 1997 to present the new cultivar to the public, naming it Cherry for good reason.

Among the Fuchsia-Enthusiasts there should be hardly anyone who is able to evade the charm of this small, but countless Blossoms, the luminescent cherry-colour showing of to the distance- and even attracting hummingbird hawk moths.
