I wonder wether it is named after the karst spring at the bottom edge of the suebian jura (Schwaebische Alb), where the water is shining in a deep, lucent blue in the spring tub? This can be easily so.
Fuchsia Blautopf
The lineage is not known, but surely this Fuchsia shows the most intensive blue among many hybrids. Only close to withering it will fade a bit and change to a burgundy purple. One will want to place this hybrid in half shade with only a bit of direct sunlight.
It will grow sturdy upright, but does not branch out by itself and should be therefore cut back regularly to get the result of a bushy growth. But given that there will never be a hanging basket from this hybrid! Beside that it is forgiving and resistant to illness.
Propagation through cuttings will be easy within a greenhouse. When out of time ore patience it might as well easily be ordered in well sorted Fuchsia-Nurserys. And among Fuchsia-Enthusiasts this hybrid will be of course passed around eagerly.
