Fuchsia 'La Campanella'
Fuchsia 'La Campanella' is a beautiful trailing variety known for its dainty, bell-shaped flowers. The blooms feature pale pink to white sepals that elegantly contrast with a rich purple corolla, creating a striking two-toned effect. Its cascading growth habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, window boxes, or patio containers, where its delicate flowers can spill over the edges for a graceful display. This variety is a prolific bloomer, providing continuous color throughout the growing season while attracting hummingbirds and pollinators.

    • Light: Thrives in partial to full shade. Morning sunlight is beneficial, but it should be sheltered from intense afternoon heat to prevent stress and fading flowers.

    • Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Amending the soil with compost helps retain moisture while ensuring good aeration.

    • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. In hanging baskets, it may dry out quickly, requiring more frequent watering, especially in warm weather. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

    • Temperature: Prefers cool to moderate temperatures (50-70°F or 10-21°C). Not frost-hardy, so in colder climates, bring indoors or provide winter protection. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat, as fuchsias can become stressed in hot, dry conditions.

    • Fertilizing: Feed every 2-3 weeks during the active growing season (spring to early fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support healthy growth and continuous blooming. Reduce feeding in late fall and winter when the plant slows down.

    • Pruning: Regular deadheading encourages new blooms. Light pruning throughout the growing season helps maintain a tidy shape. Trim back leggy or damaged growth in early spring to promote fuller, more compact growth.

    • Pests and Diseases: Susceptible to aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew and botrytis. Avoid overhead watering to minimize the risk of disease.

    • Propagation: Easily propagated from softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Place cuttings in a moist, well-draining medium and keep them in a warm, humid environment until they establish roots.
