Fuchia

The Fuchsia genus includes over 100 woody shrubs and trees, but the common garden fuchsia found in garden centers are primarily hybrids meant for hanging baskets and other containers. While these plants can be perennials in warm regions, they are usually grown as outdoor container plants. This may involve planting them as annuals and disposing of them when the weather turns cold, or bringing them indoors and caring for them under controlled conditions and bright light during the winter months. Although they have specific preferences for moisture and temperature, fuchsias are generally considered easy to maintain in container gardens.
