'Fanfare' 2012

'Fanfare' is a stunning reminder of the varied forms fuchsias can come in which most people would not think of.  It is also a great example of how they can survive in a far wider range of conditions than people realize.  This is another one of the stock plants that froze to ground level and has come back with as much vigor as any rose out in the full sun.  Throwing out new four and five foot "canes" with more on the way.  Looking at these huge glossy leaves, one would have no idea it is a fuchsia until it begins to bloom!
