Fuchsia 'Thalia'
Fuchsia 'Thalia' is a striking cultivar known for its vibrant orange flowers, setting it apart from many of its pink-hued cousins. This upright bush fuchsia typically reaches a height of 60-80 cm, forming a compact, well-branched shrub with dark green, ovate leaves that beautifully complement its vivid blooms.
The flowers of Fuchsia 'Thalia' are truly eye-catching, featuring long, slender tubes in a bright orange hue. These open to reveal flared sepals in a similar or slightly deeper orange shade, creating a warm, harmonious effect. The petals within may show hints of yellow or coral, adding depth to the overall orange display. These pendant blooms appear abundantly from early summer through to the first frosts, dangling like tiny lanterns from the plant's arching stems.
Thriving in partial shade to full sun in cooler climates, Fuchsia 'Thalia' is excellent for containers, hanging baskets, or mixed borders. It's particularly valued for its long flowering period and its ability to bring a burst of warm colour to the garden. Good in wet weather.
