Fuchsia
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?WQEJR 23 August 2009 Fuchsia
The one Fuchsia in the garden located along the deck in full sum. There is not enough shade in my garden to grow the other types. This does not over-winter.

Durgan I am having trouble with your pics not coming up...........this is the second time.........they took too long and I just quit. How come?

I wanted to see this too.

There is a fuchsia that is called Santa Claus that you could grow.......it over winters and takes more sun than others. I lost mine this last winter with all our snow........much got piled on it!! but it has/had made it through much COLDER temps than we had. I am zone 5 but haven't had the low end of zone 5 temps in winter for awhile. It was about 5 years old.
Here is a pic......hope this comes up correctly.....

First do you have dial up for the Internet? The pictures must always come up. The site is amongst the best on the Internet for speed and reliability.
I have grown that particular fuchsia, but it never over-winters here, also it requires shade, which I don't have sufficient of.
Fuchsias are always beautiful.

No...not dial up......use IE with comcast.........

Will try again.......

I agree aobut the fuschias.......love them. I put in a miniature rhoddie where I took the f. out of.......will see how it does. This plant was new to me......doesn't even look like a rhoddie.
