I don't call that 'overgrown' Eli, I call it 'full & glorious'!

Thank you SueA It does need some tidying though because the plants are all flopping over the path and you can hardly see it any more.

They look lovely Eli, a lot of my fuchsias have been slow to flower this year as well & some got hit by late frosts & dropped a lot of leaves which are only just growing back. The Blue Bush one you have in the ground is beautiful is that reliably hardy?

Thank you SueA. Blue Bush has been in that position for a few years but we've had rather mild winters lately. I also have one that's been in a pot for many years but it never does very well, so maybe this variety is best suited for the garden.

They are really putting on a lovely show Eli. I like Blackie best I think.

I have taken cuttings of an outdoor fuchsia with a deep purple corolla and pink petals. It looks as good as that one, so I hope it roots well. After staying with my son, I bought a heated propagator, so I am well away with cuttings.

A heated propagator is a great thing to have Cherry, you have to watch the cuttings don't dry out too much though. I hope your Fuchsias root well

I had two electric propagator, but they melted in the fire at the farm. This one is a Stewart and I am not sure if I like it as, although it is thermostatic, I can’t control the heat. Still, it looks like it should do the job.
