what is the seasonal availability for Fuschias and where do they originate from?

Answer 1

There are about 100-110 species of Fuchsia. The great majority are native to South America, but with a few occurring north through Central America to Mexico, and also several on New Zealand, Tahiti and Ireland. The flowers bloom throughout the summer and autumn and all year round in areas that do not freeze. The plants are usually put out in early spring for purchase. Many nurseries will put tags on them indicating when the blooms for that particular species will begin blooming.

Answer 2

First, Fuchsias do not like to dry out. Depending on where you live and where the fuchsia is planted, the watering frequency will vary. But it is important to remember to keep the soil moist to the touch from spring through autumn. In many parts of the country (and especially if planted in a hanging pot) the fuchsia will require daily watering. During their growing season daily misting of the plants to increase humidity is recommended.

Second, Fuchsias need to be fed. A balanced 20-20-20 soluable fertilizer will work well. It is probably best to make a diluted mixture and use with each watering during the growing season - spring through autumn. If the leaves of your fuchsia are turning yellow, it may be from the roots not getting enough fertilizer. When this happens the plant will take stored nutrients from the leaves. So make sure to find a happy balance between water and fertilizer.

Third, fuchsias do not like to be hot. A cool temperature of 50° to 60° works well. If temperatures exceed 70° the plant may suffer. Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants, mostly shrubs, which were identified by Charles Plumier in the late 17th century, and named by Linnaeus in 1753 after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566).

Answer 3

Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants, mostly shrubs, which were identified by Charles Plumier in the late 17th century, and named by Linnaeus in 1753 after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566). The English vernacular name Fuchsia is the same as the scientific name.
Fuchsias are popular garden shrubs, though only the hardiest species like Fuchsia magellanica can be grown outdoors in areas like the British Isles (where it has also become naturalised in Ireland and southwestern Britain), with many of the popular cultivars being greenhouse plants there.

Answer 4

They are usually available for purchase at garden centers and nurseries in the Spring and Summer months. They were found in the tropical climates of South America.

The Bush Nursery are growers that have a large variety for sale.

Answer 5

Think you can buy plugs already from Garden centres and seed catalogues but you will need to protect from frost.

Hardy fuchsias are still sleeping they drop all there leaves in frost go into coma and dont reawaken until spring when you will notice them start to bud up.

Flowering usually late spring to early winter.

Not sure of country of origin without looking it up - but if you do a web search or go to

You might be able to discover more information.

Answer 6

They flower in spring and summer, like it cooler, and originated in South America and similar climes.

Answer 7

i saw them as plugs in b'q today i wouldn't buy them this early unless you plan to keep them indoors
