Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

Pruning

Shorten last year's flowering stems to one or two buds from the older woody framework. Remove thin, weak and dead shoots. Prune in early to mid-spring as growth resumes; avoid winter pruning that exposes new shoots to frost.

Propagation

Propagate by softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings

Growing

Outdoors grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or part shade in a sheltered position, kept frost free over winter. Under glass grow in loam-based (JI No.3) or loam-less potting compost in bright filtered light and good ventilation. Keep just moist in winter. See hardy fuchsia cultivation for further information
