Product Description

Fuchsia ‘Deep Purple’ is a spectacular giant-flowered variety that brings elegance and impact to summer displays. The large, frilled, fully double flowers can reach up to 10cm (4 inches) across and are produced in abundance, creating a soft yet striking cascade of colour. Subtle blends of lilac-blue, soft pink and pale pastel shades give this variety a refined, almost romantic look.

Naturally trailing, this fuchsia is ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes and elevated patio pots, where the blooms can spill gracefully over the edges. It flowers freely throughout summer and continues right up until the first frosts, especially when spent blooms are removed regularly.

Supplied as starter plug plants grown in reduced-peat compost, each plug comes neatly wrapped in a biodegradable paper sleeve that also acts as the plant label. Simply remove the sleeve and plant.
