Hatschbach's fuchsia

Can be grown outdoors in moist, fertile soil. Plant the base of the stem 5cm below the soil surface and provide a deep winter mulch and shelter from cold drying winds. See fuchsia cultivation for further information.

Propagate by softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings

Under glass, can get glasshouse whitefly, glasshouse red spider mite, aphids, glasshouse leafhopper, thrips and vine weevil; outdoor plants are less troubled by these pests but can also get capsid bug, fuchsia gall mite and caterpillars

May be subject to grey moulds and fuchsia rust
