Fuchsia 'Genii' (Hardy)

Fuchsia 'Genii' is an extra special fuchsia with not only colourful flowers, as the foliage is also rather striking. The flowers have inky blue petals backed by magenta tepals, and these blooms are set against golden, glowing foliage.

Fuchsia 'Genii' is a brilliant, easy to grow shrub for borders or large patio containers. Plants are fully hardy and will last for many years. Fuchsias will grow happily in sun or part shade; in fact they are most at home in a dappled shade position, so are excellent for difficult corners of the patio.

Fuchsias will flower from the end of June to September, and are easy maintenance; just a little deadheading every few days will encourage plenty more blooms. Fuchsia genii has an RHS Award of Garden Merit too. Height and spread: 90cm (36").

Culinary note: Add the beautiful coloured flowers to salads, crystallise them for a sweet garnish or add them to jellies for an extra splash of colour. For more details about edible flowers click here.
