WALZ Beiaard 
WALZ Freule 
We really like this fuchsia for its almost casual, laid back trailing style and its striking combination of colours. Easy to grow but needs to go into winter growing well and discolours in full sun.
Tube: Bright light pink, short, slender.
Sepals: Bright light pink above, rose below. Broad, 1/2 up, recurved tips.
Corolla: Rich purple-blue with darker, wavy petal edge, 3/4 flared.
Parentage: Suzanna x unknown.
