magellanica
Cultivation: Fully
frost hardy to frost tender, these plants require
moist but well-drained, fertile soil in sun or part-shade
and shelter from hot winds and afternoon sun. In
most cases, pinching back at an early age and then
pruning after flowering will improve shape and flower
yield. Propagate from seed or cuttings, and look
out for white fly, red spider mites, rust and gray
mold

Fuchsia
Family
name:Onagraceae
This genus consists
of about 100 species and thousands of hybrids and cultivars
developed for their pendulous flowers, which come in a fascinating
variety of forms (though usually with a long or short perianth
tube, spreading sepals and 4 broad petals) and a wonderful range
of colors in shades of red, white, pink and purple. They are
deciduous or evergreen trees, shrubs or perennials treated almost
as herbaceous plants. The genus is confined to South and Central
America except for 4 species in New Zealand and one in Tahiti.
Most of the larger-flowered American species inhabit areas of
very high rainfall, sometimes growing as epiphytes or on boulders
in moss forests; they are pollinated by hummingbirds. Habit
varies from upright shrubs to spreading bushes. Trailing lax
varieties are ideal for hanging baskets or are trained as weeping
standards. Strong upright types may be trained as compact bushes,
standards or espaliers.
