Giant Bella Rosella Fuchsia

Bella Rosella is a tender, trailing fuchsia selected for very large, double pink flowers with pale pink sepals and deeper pink petals. Its cascading stems and compact footprint suit hanging baskets and patio containers, where flowering continues through summer and into autumn.

A moisture-retentive but well-drained loam suits the plant; keep container compost evenly moist during active growth and feed regularly. The RHS lists this named fuchsia for summer containers and frost-free growing, so move it under cover where winter freezing is expected.

Use the plant’s trailing habit to spill over basket and planter edges. These are horticultural estimates and vary with pinching, container size, and growing conditions.

Water freely during summer growth, then protect the plant from frost; remove spent flowers as needed to keep the display tidy.
