Fuchsias: Old-fashioned Flowers, only for enthusiasts?

Fuchsias: Are they really old-fashioned?

 

Quite often you hear people say: “These Fuchsias are quite nice, but they are more for the elderly”. Or: “These Plantc are lovely, but they are out of style”.

Is that correct? Are Fuchsias today neglegible at the plant market?

Fuchsias = Shadow-Plants?

This statement is to general and therefore false, but this opinion did possibly in many cases cause first contact of Fuchsia-passionates with these lovely plants.

 

Starting to try new locations with single Fuchsias, who disappoint with their flourishing and espacially with their rate of blossoming, will lead to more and more surprises to the amount of sun-radiation most of the fuchsias tolerate or need. And that best in locations with mild direct sunlight in the morning or evening-sun.

Every Fuchsia has its Name!

25 years ago i owned some nice Fuchsias, their colors red and white in different variations, being presented on my balcony. Up to 15years ago i did not know about any other differentiation’s. Visiting the most marked-gardens or even super-marked, you wount find any other diversification such as  “Fuchsia-Hybrid”- upright or hanging. A little bit further might lead a classification of the blossom on the label: “simple”, “half-filled” or “filled”.

This fuzziness in the declaration can be found with almost any plants, even at the favored, noble roses. Think as well of the gardens showing an abundance of Tulips in any variety of forms and colors.

 

So why taking the difficulty to learn the names, though they might even be hard to remember and possibly in a foreign language?
