Very slow start, but beautiful abundant flowering; have withstood full sun, which is not always guaranteed with fuchsias.

Description

The trailing Fuchsia 'Omar Giant' is characterized by its spectacular double trailing flowers of 7cm.

In red and white, it blooms continuously from June to October. Usually grown as an annual, it is a perennial that can be grown indoors.

Discovered in Santo Domingo in the 17th century and acclimatized in Europe, it was named Fuchsia (not Fuschia) in honour of a German botanist named Fuchs. Native to South America, botanical Fuchsias have gradually been multiplied. There are now believed to be tens of thousands of hybrids!

Green plants measuring 4 to 8cm in plug plants of 5 small plugs, 2.8 cm in diameter and 4 cm high. Our plants are at least eight weeks old and are strong enough to be planted outdoors.

Note: Please note that our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (sunroom, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C for a few weeks before planting them outdoors once the risk of frost has definitively passed.

Planting and care

```html Plant your fuchsias in a rich, fresh and well-drained soil, in the sun or partial shade. Fuchsias need plenty of light to flower well but they fear the full summer sun. Water regularly, as they fear drought, but not excessively. When grown in a pot, make sure not to leave water in the saucer, as this would rot the roots and cause the leaves to fall. Feed with a liquid fertiliser for fuchsias every 15 days during the growth period. Regularly clean up faded flowers and dry leaves. Prune back in autumn after flowering. Fuchsias can also be grown indoors where they are perennial and evergreen. ```
