of course if given enough water within the moderate temperatures in the morning or evening. It will need more water than many other hybrids, and that provides it with more fertilizer in my special setting. The splendous result of that is obvious to me all day!
Fuchsia Delicate Purple
This hybrid- same as the Fuchsia of the week 26/2014- is a product of the hybridizer Mario de Cooker from the Netherlands, crossbreeding “Delicate Blue” and “Wilson’s Pearl’s”. In my opinion “Delicate Purple”, introduced 2004, incorporates the advantages of both parent hybrids in itself. The style of the blossom is, due to the slim retracted sepals, quite elegant. Characteristic as well is that the stamen are and the style is almost hidden until withering.
The hybrid is semi-hanging and flourishes abundantly from June until frost or until being cut back to overwintering, as in my case.
Luckily overwintering and propagation is easily done, and therefore one shall not worry that this hybrid might vanish within foreseeable time.
