Fuchsia Tom West, commonly known as Hardy Fuchsia is a bushy, deciduous, upright shrub with stunning foliage. The leaves are oval shaped, mid green with a creamy white variegation which is often tinted with a soft pink. The stems and veins on the leaves are a striking red which really add to the foliages desire. In June all the way through to October the Fuchsia Tom West produces single purple and red flowers which add to the display.
Often planted in containers means this Fuchsia can be a great addition to gardens without grass, and simply pots and containers. Even on balconies if protected from the wind and in a sunny location!
Fuchsia Tom West care
Plant the Fuchsia Tom West in full sunlight with moist, well drained soils. Will grow in dappled shade and likes to be protected from cold winds. We would recommend if the weather drops to move the Fuchsia into a conservatory or greenhouse where it will cope well. Prune in spring months by cutting down to encourage a more vigorous healthy growth for the upcoming season. In the growing season make sure to water well and feed once a month.
