Title: Fuchsia
Post by: Lazy Daisy on August 21, 2006, 12:21:19
I bought a beautiful Fuchsia from a nursey in Somerset. They had got it from their wholesalers named Fouroaks Nurseries (cannot trace). It was called 'Rose Quartet' the description of the plant label reads. Flowers have Rose Pink Corollas with Cream Sepals. The Corolla splits as the flower matures. Habit Upright Bushy. Sadly it died because 'someone' forgot to water it whilst I was on holiday. I have tried to find a stockist but to no avail. Does anyone recognise the description and knows where I can get a replacement.  Many thanks

Ooh, I found some photos and agree it's a gorgeous plant. Seems popular in the US, but not in the UK, which is odd because it's UK-bred. Four Oaks is a trade nursery/breeders in Macclesfield, Cheshire - website is www.fouroaks-nurseries.co.uk. I can only really suggest phoning them and asking if they can tell you of a local seller of the plant, or you could perhaps post a 'Want it Now' post on eBay..

Good luck! :)

Many thanks fluffygrue. Did at last contact Fouroaks. Had already tried their web page but it must have been unavailable. Tried again and have got to them.  Again Many thanks
