Product Description
A sumptuous and stunning newcomer to our range of Hardy Fuchsias, 'Alice Hoffman' produces large, white and pink flowers, which cascade from its branches throughout summer and into autumn.
With a really pretty colour break of pinky white corolla, against pright pink sepals, this bush fuchsia really stands out among other plants and makes a spectacular display in borders and patio containers year after year. Alice Hoffman produces spectacular semi-double flowers with superb weather resistance, and subtle, bronze-tinged foliage so you really can't get a better hardy fuchsia!
Holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, these compact and robust hardy fuchsias are perfectly proportioned for patio containers or small borders so anyone can grow them even without a garden! And of course, being RHS approved you can be sure of a real garden-worthy plant.

Plant Information
Top Tips
Care Guide
- Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil, with shelter from the wind. In containers, use a John Innes No 3 based compost.
- When planting in the ground, plant the base of the stem 5cm below the soil surface and provide a deep winter mulch and shelter from the wind.
- Water fuchsia plants sufficiently to keep the compost moist but not waterlogged and do not leave plants standing in water.
- Fuchsias prefer shade for the hottest part of the day.
- A balanced, liquid fertiliser used in summer encourages better blooms over a long flowering period.
- When in active growth, you can pinch out tips to increase the potential number of blooms, although this will delay actual flowering - flowers usually open six to eight weeks after you finish stopping.
