Fuchsia La Musica – Fuchsia of the Week 20/2014

Posted by Siglinde on May 16, 2014 in Fuchsia of the week, Fuchsie der Woche | 0 comments

is a Fuchsia with its own special charm

and originates from a country populated with many renown musicians since ever- maybe the cause for the name?

 

 

The hybridizers name is Josef Gindl. Born 1935, he was never a professional gardener but a dedicated hobbyist for that, and beside, bees. His favorites are Fuchsias, and therefore he sometimes started- naturally- to experiment with crossbreeding. One result of this is “La Musica”, introduced 2001. Since then this Hybrid found, due to the filled blossoms with a translucent pink, many devotees. The flourishing starts quite early in abundance and does not stop to soon, given enough care and fertilizer, but being waters moderately. The growth is half-hanging, best kept in hanging baskets for a eye-catching presentation.

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately it is difficult to obtain this hybrid outside of Austria. The best way to lay hand on this Fuchsia might be through other Fuchsia-Enthusiasts, for it is not to complicated to reproduce this hybrid.
