Expert John Nicholass looks at the new fuchsias available in 2021

Try one of these varieties for your summer displays

With the global pandemic in 2020, no local society fuchsia shows or British Fuchsia Society National shows went ahead and all the RHS and other major flower shows were cancelled. This meant I had few opportunities to find out about new fuchsias. It has also limited the opportunity for the specialist fuchsia nurseries to make new introductions. However, there are some new ones, and here are a few to look out for. See key (bottom right) for nurseries where you can buy them.
