Fuchsia 'Voodoo'
fuchsia Voodoo
In shades of intense red and purple the large, double flowers (up to 7cm or 3in) have a subtle, silky appearance.
Fuchsia ‘Voodoo’ makes a spectacular addition to summer displays and is an outstanding choice for hanging baskets with its naturally trailing stems that can reach 35cm (14in). Plant either by themselves or combined with other trailing plants like Chaenostoma (syn. Bacopa) or Verbena for a brilliant summer display.

How to care for Fuchsia Voodoo:
Our bedding range and bedding collections (where available) are offered as seedlings, cuttings, and potted plants.
Pot up seedlings and cuttings and grow them on under glass until the risk of frost has passed. Once conditions are warmer, they can be planted directly into well-prepared beds, or used to fill patio pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets for long-lasting seasonal colour. Larger 9cm bedding plants don’t usually need potting on but will benefit from initial frost protection in spring.
To keep bedding plants looking their best, and where applicable, pinch out the tips to promote bushier growth and water regularly, especially in containers where compost dries out quickly. Feed with a high-potash fertiliser every couple of weeks to encourage continuous flowering. Deadhead faded blooms, as required, to extend the display and keep plants tidy, ensuring vibrant summer flowers from planting time right through to the first frosts.
