Fuchsia 'Chilli Red' (VR)

Fuchsia 'Chilli Red' (VR)

The buds of this intensely red variety look just like fiery chilli peppers, as they emerge in mid-summer, hence the name. They develop in abundance, on compact deciduous bushes with mid-green foliage, growing to just a couple of feet at maximum height. Hardy in normal winters in the UK, but might need protection from the hardest frosts.
