    I haven't double checked, but I think that Fuchsia mentioned in the tropical garden was Fuchsia Splendens.

    I've just googled F. splendens  and F dependends and it's neither.
    I've just messaged the garden owner on FB. If anyone wants to know which it is, I'll tell you if I get a reply.

    Good idea @Hostafan1 ... OH isn’t usually a fuchsia fan but he liked that one.  :)

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Shouldn't the editing team have found out and then named it on screen as it was a featured fuchsia in that garden, this is what annoys me lots of lovely plants but no names just waffling about colours. Alright for those in the know but I want common names attached to species names for us without the knowledge.  Go back to Monty and Nigel.🙂

    Just going to give my two-pence worth could it be Fuschia Thallia ,right colour not sure about the colourations on the ends though, he had a lot of passion I liked his style for such a smallish space surrounded by walls you think the editing team would of picked up on it too tell the viewers which variety it was,anyway it's good too have GW back especially Carol.

    Well that was quick, watched first thing this morning on catchup. Nice. But short.

    Inspired me into tidying up anyway :smile:

    Bare root roses...hmm...

    It's just great to get gardening back on tv no matter wither you like it or not. Think more about starting off a new garden would be great in stages going through the series.

    The Paradise garden is Monty's latest "new" garden.   If you want to know how to make a new garden you need to get the 3 Geoff Hamilton DVDs - Cottage, Paradise and ornamental Kitchen Gardens.   Plenty of info there that you cant weak to your own plot.
