27 Bloomin' Years and Still Growing!

Fuchsia Varieties from Weidners Gardens because one picture is worth a thousand words.

In the first box below on your left we listed the first earliest February crop of 4 inch fuchsias. We decided this year to do more varieties and fewer numbers of each. We split this propagation doing half first and then 2 weeks later the second half. That means that some varieties might have very few at any one time.There won't be any blooms this early so look up the varieties in the pictures on this and the next Fuchisa page..

This page is to let you see many of the fuchsia varieties that Weidners Gardens grows. The following information may help you as you see the pictures.

We start our season of fuchsia varieties with the fuchsias that can bloom all year. As April and May come along we keep adding varieties. Fuchsia production peaks in May and then we do fewer as the season goes into full summer. This means that not all of the fuchsia varieties that you see here will be available all the time.

Understanding our 'Codes' or how we classify fuchsias.

Bloom Times
All year=Everblooming in mild climates. Here in Southern California fuchsias that are day length neutral will stay in bloom all year. Hours of light along with temperature affect when fuchsias bloom.
Early Bloomer=These fuchsias come in bloom for us in Southern California usually by Mid-March into early April.
Mid-Season=Mid April into May is when almost all of your fuchsias are in bloom. A few late bloomers might still be waiting.
Growth Habit
Basket/Trailer= A fuchsia that is a true trailer and is best in a basket or coming over the edge of a planter.
Basket- Makes a good basket and can sometimes be trained other forms.
Semi-Basket=This class of fuchsia will basket but is stiff enough to make a short upright.
Petite Upright=Uprights that will stay compact and are good for smaller pots and containers. Can make a basket but they will never trail. The Shadow Dancer's are in this group. Many of these are everblooming.
Upright=Fuchsias that are truly upright growers and would not ever make a trailer.
There are always exceptions and many semi basket types also make good tree fuchsias if trained right. Voodoo is a great example of breaking all the rules. Big double flowers., it makes a great basket but can also be a tree or become an upright. Usually the best uprights are those with smaller blooms. Large double flowers can bend down the branches of many uprights.
