Windchimes® Basket Dark Eyes - Fuchsia

Windchimes® Basket Dark Eyes is the Fuchsia cultivar ‘FWIDE16-1’, selected for a semi-pendulous basket habit and bright pink calyces around dark-violet corollas. Its branches spread over the rim of a hanging basket or planter, where the two-tone flowers can be viewed from below. ## Garden use Use it in a hanging basket, window box, or mixed container. The [plant patent description](https://patents.justia.com/patent/PP27608) documents the named selection, while [Lucas Greenhouses](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Fuchsia-hybrid-Windchimes-Basket-Dark-Eyes) lists an 8–14 in height and 18–24 in spread and notes visits from hummingbirds and butterflies. ## Growing conditions A well-drained potting mix and evenly moist, not waterlogged, roots help maintain steady growth. The [Windchimes culture guide](https://green-fuse.com/new/fuchsia-new-windchimes-basket/) recommends partial shade in southern heat and supports basket, pot, and combination-planter use. ## Maintenance Keep the mix from drying out, give the plant room to trail, and remove damaged stems as needed. In larger pots, a light pinch can encourage fuller branching.
