MY FUCHSIAS IN NOVEMBER.
Above "Tennesse Waltz" a lovely hardy variety that has a long flowering season and can be trained to do most things.
"La Campanella" is a small very prolific flowerer and a vigorous bush or standard.
Above one of my favourite hanging basket varieties "Harry Gray" this fuchsias is a perfect hanging basket variety, being a very very prolific small flowered type, plant three or four of these in a hanging basket and stand back and wonder when in flower.Beautiful.
This variety above is "Royal velvet"a nice vigorous upright double, ideal for pots, planters ets.
Probably the most popular, and certainly one of the easiest to grow and train to do anything that you want is "Swingtime", above.
Above another lovely upright variety "Dark Eyes"I find this variety is particularly susceptible to sun or shade and so can vary wildly in flower colour according to where you site it.
Above "circus Spangles" a double that is a hanging basket variety, this flower is just about over.
Above a flower of "Tennesse Waltz" a semi double hardy variety.Its amazing that I still have as many Fuchsias in flower in November, I'm waiting to cut them back and take some of them out of their containers to use for spring bulbs but I feel loathe when they'r as nice as they still are.

Still growing the lovely flowers Bob? They look great!
Thanks for your funny comments!
And also thanks for the spam link.
Winter is coming!
Swingtime and Dark Eyes arel favourites around here along with La Campanella and Harry Gray. We also like Annabelle because we have three friends named Annabelle. My first ever fuchsia was Swingtime so I have a special fondness for it.
Hi peggy, funnily enough my first two were "Swingtime" and a not so well known one "Eva Boerg", that was a long long time ago 1982-3.
Hi Bikerbob,,, Ohh I just love your Fuchsias,, IM going to have to try get swingtime, and Royal velvet, I think your swingtime might be called Bellarina, over here, ill check it out in the next few days...
Hi Jeanette, all, Fuchsias keep the same name all over the world but there are thousands of them so obviously quite a lot of them look similar. With a lot you can only tell the difference by perhaps leaf colour or even the habit ie whether its an upright, bush or trailer.(By the way we have "Ballerina" over here to).
