FUCHSIAS 
FUCHSIAS may be grown in 
practically any wind-protected 
place, even in sunny positions. 
However, in the interior valleys 
fuchsias need some protection 
from the hot midday hours of 
direct sun. In the ground or in 
pots they prefer a sheltered location, protected from 
prevailing winds. This could be the east side of a 
building, under high-branched trees in filtered sunlight, 
or in a properly constructed lath house. 
Fuchsias will grow in full shade, but do not bloom 
well in a dark place. In order to grow normally and 
bloom abundantly they must have all the light possible 
and need at least three to four hours of sun a day. They 
prefer early morning sun, but will do well in late after- 
noon sun. 
As to soi! condition, the first consideraiton is good 
drainage. Waterlogged soil may be fatal to fuchsias, 
espcially in heavy soil during a cold, wet winter. Pro- 
vide good drainage by breaking up the soil at least 18 
inches deep and adding coarse sand, peat or other suit 
able material. 
To provide the humus and acid condition fuchsias re 
quire thoroughly mix plenty of well-rotted manure, leaf 
mold, peat, compost, or acid soil conditioner into the soil 
Fast growing and perpetually blooming plants need 
plenty of water. Fuchsias are no exception. In addition 
to thorough soil soaking as often as required daily over- 
head sprinkling is advised. Mulch with a layer of peat 
moss, well-rotted manure or other porous material, 
spread evenly over the ground as far out as the branches 
reach to help maintain cool moist conditions for the 
roots. Depending on the size of the fuchsias the mulch 
layer may be a fraction of an inch for young plants, to 
an inch or more for long-established ones
