Basket Bedding BFS Triphylla Bright Easy Exhibition Hardy Orange Single Standard THRiC Tubular

If you haven't grown a triphylla type fuchsia before, this is a great one to try first, but will appeal to anyone who likes this type, being easy, trouble free and vigorous. Naturally a lax bush or semi trailer, bearing terminal clusters of big, gorgeous, rich orange flowers.

Unusually (and usefully) for a triphylla, this is hardy to 32F, 0°C. Like all triphyllas, still needs warm, bright conditions to make active growth. For optimum flowering, best treated as H1c or H2.

Tube: Red orange 43C, long.

Sepals: Red orange 43C, fully down, tips reflexed.

Corolla: Orange, 40C initially edged purple 83B, Long spoon shaped petals, 1/4 flared.

Foliage: Medium to large leaves, slightly hairy, mid/darkish green, with red stems and veins.

Parentage: Gartenmeister Bonstedt x F. fulgens.
