Fuchsia 'Blackie'

Fuchsia ‘Blackie’

Fuchsia ‘Blackie’ is a dramatic, trailing variety prized for its rich, dark blooms that combine deep purple corollas with striking red sepals. The bold color contrast and elegant, pendulous flowers make it a showstopper in hanging baskets, containers, or shaded garden beds. Blooming from late spring through fall, this variety provides continuous color while attracting hummingbirds to the garden.
