Fuchsia Bella Rosella
Ted Garett from USA hybridized this beauty by crossing the well known Fuchsias “Quasar” and “Applause”. He introduced this impressive result in 1987 and with this hybrid in the opinion of many enthusiasts maybe his best result of crossbreeding. Up to now this Fuchsia causes genuine amazement by those who face it the first time, for example an older plant displayed in a hanging basket: numerous palm-sized double blossoms of lucent crimson-purple color almost covering the dark green leafs. Starting to flourish early in the season, this hybrid does not stop to do so kept in a sheltered spot within half-shade.
This hybrid is to be strongly recommended since it is quite resistant to illness and vermin. For proliferating it one has to be patient to wait 2-3 years until the plant grows up to its full potential. But there are some Fuchsia-Nursery selling it in good quality to spare this effort.
And then, as this spectacular result is displayed, nobody may pass without admiration, other then being color-blind!
