Windchimes® Basket Rose/Purple - Fuchsia

Windchimes® Basket Rose/Purple is a floriferous fuchsia with a mounding, spreading habit and pendulous, two-tone flowers. Its compact growth and 8–14-inch height suit hanging baskets, small containers, and combination planters. ## Growing Conditions Give the plant part sun or shade and use a well-drained growing mix. The breeder recommends keeping the medium evenly moist rather than wet. Leave room for its stems to spread over the rim of a basket or pot; the spreading form can also soften the edge of a raised container. ## Seasonal Interest The rose-pink calyx and violet corolla are characteristic of the named selection ‘FWIRP26-0’; the flowers are double and hang below the foliage. The breeder reports an early flower response and continuing reproductive growth as days lengthen, with seasonal interest in spring, summer, and fall. [Green Fuse Botanicals](https://green-fuse.com/new/fuchsia-new-windchimes-basket/) gives production and growing guidance, while the [plant patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP26427P3/en) documents the exact cultivar code and flower traits. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist with good drainage and air movement around the plant. Pinching a young plant can encourage fuller branching, especially in larger pots. Remove spent blooms if desired, though the supplier lists the selection as not requiring deadheading. Protect from frost and discard or overwinter according to the local growing season.
