How to care for Fuchsia Thalia:
For border planting, choose a sunny sheltered spot. Dig a hole twice the size of the rootball, scatter some mycorrhizal fungi on the roots and mix some well-rotted compost into the excavated soil and backfill.
For best results in containers, pot up using a good quality potting compost or or loam-based compost ensuring good drainage.
Fuschias require regular watering to aid establishment and during active growth. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each month.
Border plants benefit from mulching in winter for cold temperature protection. Prune in spring to maintain form and to encourage new growth.
Pot grown plants should be overwintered in a sheltered or frost-free spot, while those growing in borders will benefit from winter protection such as horticultural fleece.
