as well as in form as in color. But this hybrid belongs to the seasoned Fuchsias: being introduced by the hybridizer William Munkner from the USA in 1960 , there are unfortunately no more informations about the lineage.
Fuchsia Fiery Spider
My plants started blossoming as early as April this year, situated in a place with a bit direct sunlight only in the morning and evening. The leafs are almost delicate, with a bright green color. This hybrid grows rapidly hanging shoots, branching out of its own, but even better- like all Fuchsias- being cut back early. Striking, above all, is the ratio of the long sepals to the relatively small corollas, giving somehow the recollection of a spider, and that- in connection with the color- might be the background for the name “Fiery Spider”.
Due to my experience young plants of this hybrid are quite delicate towards to much watering. Growing older they tolerate- and even need- noticeably more water.
