Fuchsia ‘Dying Embers’

A real showstopper, Fuchsia ‘Dying Embers’ is an award-winning variety with beautifully unusual flowers in rich, dark colours. The deep aubergine, almost black petals are surrounded by neat crimson-red sepals, creating a striking contrast that really catches the eye.

The foliage adds even more interest. Fresh green leaves have attractive purple veining and stems during the summer, becoming darker as autumn approaches and complementing the rich flower colours beautifully.

With its naturally bushy habit and compact size, this is an excellent choice for pots, containers, patios, balconies and borders. It flowers from April through to August, providing a long season of colour.
