Fuchsia WALZ Blauwkous
The hybridizer of this Fuchsia- beside 200 other hybrids- is Hank Waldenmaier, who utilized “Susanna” as mother-plant. The source of the pollen is unfortunately unknown. His profession is genetic scientist, but he is professionally more engaged with animals. Fuchsias are his hobby, but of course he can also relay on his professional skills.
“Blauwkous” is blue socks in Dutch, and this hybrid is actually quite blue, the early blossom even with a dark hue. This hanging hybrid is best kept in half shade or shade, and, as a rule, the color is darker the less it is exposed to sunlight.
Overwintering is easy, and the blossoms start early in spring, with some short rest now and than. The hybrid branches out of its own without being curt back, but the growth is more on the slow side. Given that and seeing it more positive, it does not need to much space to show itself in all its splendor.
One who loves blue Fuchsias should try this hybrid by all means!
