The fuschia's thrive in cooler climates, simone. I wonder if they are sold in garden centres near you? The staff there may know more.

They are fairly easy to grow from cuttings also.

*3,i don't see new reply?  has it poofed?  or were you thinkin of the wrong thread,maybe? 

but hey,thank you! 🙂

Thanks am*3.  Might have to check out the local nurseries.  I looked on the Bourke's backyard website and it looks like far north Qld is not suitable to grow them.  Lucky I don't live there then lol.  It does say if temp is in the 20's, they need watering twice and day and if temp is in the 30's, water 3 times a day. 

Now if I could just find someone who grows them that  I can get a cutting off.

simone, sadly only one fuschia survived - I had about 35        *sob

Stangely, the only one I have left is known by my daughters name

My fuschias are thriving. In Melbourne too. Neglect and sheer laziness seemed to suit them.

[imastawka]

      They might be now, amber, but it broke my heart to lose them.

The drought in Melbourne went on for way too long.  And the summers were

too hot.   Water restrictions meant only watering every 2nd day.

They would be fine now.  We have water now.

They look nice in hanging baskets, but you have trim them back a little.

They dont care if you use left over dish water, or water from Washing machine
