Product Description

Fuchsia ‘Snowcap’ is a superb hardy bush fuchsia, prized for its beautifully extravagant blooms and dependable garden performance. The flowers feature frilled, double white inner petals that resemble delicate petticoats, dramatically contrasted by vivid scarlet outer sepals. These eye-catching blooms are produced continuously throughout the summer months, creating a long-lasting display that fully justifies its prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.

With its compact, tidy growth habit, Snowcap is perfectly suited to planting in garden borders, patio pots, or large containers, where it provides structure as well as colour. As a hardy fuchsia, it is more tolerant of cooler conditions than many bedding varieties, making it a reliable choice for UK gardens.

Supplied as bedding plug plants grown in reduced-peat compost, each plug comes in a smart paper sleeve that supports the rootball and acts as a plant label. Simply remove the sleeve and plant.
