The book is both an invaluable reference for choosing fuchsias and a practical guide to caring for and displaying them. The book begins with a comprehensive look at the species fuchsia and the suitability of fuchsia types for different planting arrangements. The second section on growing first provides guidance on starting a fuchsia collection: from seeds, nursery or mail order plants, cuttings and hybridization. Then it offers all the essential techniques for caring for your fuchsias. This is the perfect companion, both for beginners who want to start cultivation, and for experienced fuchsia people who want to know more.
