  • LL I am very jealous your garden looks wonderful.

    Andy I bought the same fuchsia from Morrisons to grow a standard.

    Brum you say about using a straight stake- but what should I do whilst they are so small in 3 inch pots please?

    Hi Brumbull, I use these stakes too, but have found that with time the plastic covering peels off and the metal underneath rusts. Has this happened to you?

  • Thank you Brumbull. A twisted stem two variety sounds really lovely, it will be interesting to see how you  get on.

    I will use a thin cane to support it for now.

    I'm feeling so enthused that I will try to take some cuttings from my fuchsia and try to grow more standards.
