Fuchsia 'Blackie'
Fuchsia 'Blackie' is one of the deepest purple fuchsias available, its ruffled flowers appearing almost black with vivid hot-pink sepals. Flowering through summer, this dramatic variety forms a neat semi-bush habit, reaching around 70cm in height over time. Its bold blooms make a striking statement in borders or containers, particularly on patios or balconies where the flowers can be admired up close. Easy to grow in free-draining soil, 'Blackie' thrives in full sun or partial shade and delivers a reliable season of colour.
