Windchimes® Basket Pink/ Lilac - Fuchsia

Windchimes® Basket Pink/Lilac is a compact fuchsia with bicolor pink and lilac flowers, marketed under the Windchimes series. Its cultivar denomination is FWIPL28-0, a freely flowering selection suited to hanging baskets, containers, and combination planters. ## Flowers and placement The plant is listed at 8–14 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide, with a mounding, spreading habit. [Lucas Greenhouses](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Fuchsia-hybrid-Windchimes-Basket-Pink-Lilac), which identifies Greenfuse as breeder, reports bloom in spring, summer, and fall and recommends part sun or full shade. The breeder’s [Windchimes introduction](https://www.greenhousegrower.com/crops/new-2021-variety-intros-from-green-fuse-botanicals/) notes day-length neutrality and a compact basket habit. This extended bloom season makes the selection useful as a warm-season focal point in a patio container. ## Container care Use a well-drained potting mix and place the basket where it receives shade or gentle part sun. The [RHS tender-fuchsia guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/fuchsia/tender/growing-guide) advises keeping container compost moist but not soggy, checking baskets regularly, and increasing watering as plants grow. Wait until frost risk has passed before placing tender fuchsias outdoors. Shelter the basket from drying winds and strong midday sun in hot weather. ## Maintenance Check moisture frequently in warm weather because hanging baskets dry faster than garden soil. Remove spent flowers when needed and use a balanced container feed if growth or flowering slows. Protect the plant from frost or replace it for the next warm-season display.
