Mine arrived today
Devonshire Dumpling, Royal Mosaic and Rocket Fire
Does anyone now what size hey'll make and whether they are buch or trailing?

According to my research Devonshire Dumpling and Royal Mosaic are trailing types whereas Rocket Fire is a bush variety.

Sounds too good to be true. Where do they come from ? Have I missed the boat?
If they are really GIANTS I may not have room but I am always willing to have a go.

Hmmm...I looked it up in my book on Fuchsias and googled too.  Perhaps a Fuchsia expert will be along in a moment.

They arrived yesterday *smiling from ear to ear* (me not the plants) - so I've potted them up and now they're languishing on my balcony.

I've never grown Fuschia's before but they look good and healthy so i'll see how i get on. I've been googling them so I can't go too far wrong hopefully.
