The Hardy Fuchsia Madame Cornelissen, 'Fuchsia', exhibits stunning fuchsia pink outer petals highlighted by snowy white center petals and rose-pink stamens. If you love Fuchsia in hanging baskets, then you'll adore this plant. Masses of colorful pendant flowers act as beacons for hummingbirds. In warmer climates, it's an attractive evergreen and is deciduous in colder regions. Grows into a very ornamental specimen planting. Its dark, variegated, smooth-textured foliage adds color and interest. This vigorous, hardy fuchsia performs best in a partially shady site, protected from cold, drying winds. Strongly upright in habit it makes a colorful, informal, flowering hedge. During the growing season water regularly, applying a balanced liquid fertilizer each month.

Geranium - Southcombe Double The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. Southcombe Double blooms almost non-stop throughout the summer, into fall. Geraniums are grown in almost any soil as long as it is not wet. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant.
