Primavera™ Fuchsia Cineraria (Pericallis)

Primavera™ Fuchsia is a mounded Pericallis hybrida with large, single fuchsia flowers. Danziger describes this named selection as an early-flowering variety suited to small pots and landscape use, and gives a mature size of 12–14 inches high by 10–12 inches wide. ## Planting and Use Grow it as a seasonal flowering accent in a container, patio pot, or border. The cultivar page identifies the flowers as pollinator friendly and notes that the Primavera series can flower at lower temperatures than many Pericallis varieties. Its compact, mounded habit makes it useful in small containers or grouped plantings. ## Growing Conditions North Carolina State Extension describes florist’s cineraria as a cool-season plant for fertile, well-drained, consistently moist soil and partial shade. It flowers from winter into spring and is commonly grown as an annual or houseplant in North Carolina. The general species guidance may vary with cultivar and local climate, so follow the measured size and flowering traits from the Primavera™ Fuchsia page.

Place the plant in partial shade and avoid prolonged heat or dry soil. Remove faded flower heads to keep the display tidy, and treat it as seasonal color where the local climate does not suit continued growth.
