THE FINER DETAILSProduct details
Fuchsia 'Tom Thumb' is the definitive dwarf hardy fuchsia, producing abundant small single flowers with carmine-red sepals and tube contrasting with mauve-purple petals from early summer until the first frosts.
Very free-flowering and compact, growing to just 30cm tall and 30-45cm spread, it is perfect for borders, containers, and garden edges. The dark green foliage provides an elegant backdrop to the showy flower display.
Plant in moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. In cold areas, plant the base of the stem 5cm below soil surface and apply a deep winter mulch for protection. Hardy to H4 (-10 to -5°C), making it suitable for most UK regions.
