What is the best planting site for hardy fushias?
If planted in full sun the plant needs a good 2 of mulch to protect the roots from the heat. When planting make the hole 3 or 4 deeper and plant at this level. The extra depth will help to get the plant through the winter. Fuchsias are not very fussy on soil type but added humus is always appreciated. Water regularly when first planted and do not forget to add fertiliser from time to time. Shade or full sun is your choice but a site facing north will allow the plant to flower longer in my experience.
