Product Description

Fuchsia Marinka is one of the most popular trailing fuchsias for good reason. It produces a constant display of striking, bright red flowers that stand out beautifully against fresh green foliage. Free-flowering and vigorous, it quickly fills baskets and containers, spilling over the edges with colour for months on end.

This variety is equally effective in hanging baskets, window boxes, and raised patio pots, making it a versatile option for summer displays. Its long flowering season ensures dependable colour from early summer right through to autumn with minimal effort.

These starter plug plants are grown in a reduced-peat compost plug, bound with a biodegradable compound and supplied in a clever paper sleeve that also acts as the plant label. Simply remove the sleeve and plant directly.
