Description
This collection of hardy shrubby Fuchsias brings together three superb varieties of Fuchsia magellanica. These shrubby varieties, known for their better cold resistance, have attractive foliage and numerous pendant tubular flowers, often bicoloured, in shades of red, pink, and white. They flower abundantly from June to October, bringing colour and life to the garden as well as the patio. These fuchsias thrive in a cool, well-drained soil, rich in humus, in a semi-shaded or sunny position that is not scorching.
The collection consists of:
1 Fuchsia magellanica 'Riccartonii': a vigorous variety that easily reaches a height of 1.2 m, with bright red tube-shaped flowers and a violet corolla, and dark green foliage. Flowering from June to October.
1 Fuchsia magellanica var. molinae: a more compact variety, reaching about 1 m in height, with bell-shaped flowers in shades of white and pink. Its foliage is lighter. Flowering from July to September.
1 Fuchsia magellanica Versicolor: delicate bright pink and dark violet flowers, like those of the Fuchsia magellanica, on a beautiful tender green foliage veined with red and irregularly marginated with white. Height up to 1m. Flowering from July to October.
Plant these hardy shrubby fuchsias in spring, in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter (good horticultural compost). Choose a slightly shaded exposure and ensure that the soil does not dry out too much during the entire growth and flowering period. They will look superb in flowerbeds, as a low hedge, or in pots.
In flowerbeds, place the tallest Fuchsia magellanica 'Riccartonii' behind the other two. Position the Fuchsia magellanica 'Versicolor' in the centre and the smaller Fuchsia magellanica var. molinae in the foreground. Maintain a spacing of 60 cm between each plant. Use 3 to 4 plants per m² for a dense and colourful effect.
Pair these fuchsias with hostas, whose luxuriant foliage complements the colourful flowers of the fuchsias. The heuchera, with their colourful leaves, will form a beautiful carpet at the front of your flowerbed. In the background, plant some Hydrangea macrophylla for colour and volume, alternating with male fern plants.

Planting and care
Plant your hardy bush fuchsias preferably in spring, in open ground or in pots. They should be placed in shade or partial shade in a cool, rather fertile soil, rich in humus or horticultural compost, with a tendency towards acidity and good drainage. They do not like scorching sun, heatwaves, drought, or waterlogged soil in winter. You can add some gravel to the bottom of the planting hole if your soil is very clayey.
The leaves are deciduous as soon as the temperature drops below -4°C, and the stems wilt at -10°C. If you are in a mild and temperate climate, simply prune the stems by half at the end of autumn. Otherwise, prune them lower and protect the base by mulching before winter. You may prune the stems again in early spring, removing any dry parts. The well-protected base can withstand short frosts of around -12°C.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
