Lady's Eardrops (Fuchsia x 'Black Prince') - Description
A gorgeous Fuchsia that intoxicates with it's deep purple corolla (main single center bloom) surrounded by its bright red sepals (the four outer petals of a fuchsia). Plant this in a hanging container or tucked into a nice protected corner of the yard that offers some afternoon shade. Cooler summers especially along the coast are perfect to bring out the full glory of the fuchsia in dramatic fashion. If you live in a region too cold you can bring your fuchsia in for the winter months. Give it a good pruning in spring to bring out the best bloom.
