Annie Earle 
Mario has named this lovely plant after his wife, Anna Sonja, as they both have happy faces. A lovely name for a lovely and unusual fuchsia that deserves tol be enduringly popular.
Best as a mature plant, and best grown as a bush, (also suitable for standards). Pinch three times for best results. In this way, a well grown plant can carry many large terminal clusters of flowers, giving a really spectacular display. Flowers are held away from the foliage. Would make a wonderful container or summer border plant.
