The Fuchsia paniculata, a shrub species native to the tropical regions of Central America and Mexico, is also known as paniculate fuchsia due to its pink flowering in large panicles. It resembles somewhat that of certain lilacs and blooms from summer to autumn. Vigorous and highly ornamental, its low hardiness (-5°C) however requires sheltering in winter in our climate. An elegant and rare fuchsia, perfect for adding a tropical and exotic touch to the terrace all summer, planted in a large pot.
The Fuchsia paniculata, like all fuchsias, belongs to the Onagraceae family. It originates from the tropical regions of Central America, especially Mexico, Guatemala, and Costa Rica, where it grows in humid forests, undergrowth, or at the edge. This fuchsia stands out from other species by the shape of its upright, entirely pink flowering panicles, composed of small tubular flowers in pink-mauve, sometimes with paler nuances. Each flower measures about 1 to 2 cm long. Flowering begins in June and can last until autumn, providing a long decorative period.
The Fuchsia paniculata grows relatively quickly, with an upright and bushy habit, reaching 2 to 3 m in height with a spread of 1 to 2 m. These dimensions can be easily controlled by pruning when grown in a pot. In its native regions, it can grow larger. Its dark green leaves are opposite, ovate to elliptical, measuring between 10 and 15 cm long. The leaves are veined. Sheltered from frost, the plant retains its foliage to some extent in winter. Its stems are slender, upright, and somewhat tinged with red, as are the leaf petioles. The Fuchsia paniculata also produces small fleshy fruits in the form of berries, which are edible, but they are generally scarce in cultivation.
This superb Fuchsia paniculata can be grown in a conservatory, as well as in a large pot that should be brought indoors in winter to protect from frost. To complement it, consider planting a Gardenia, Aspidistra, and trailing Summerwings White Begonias.
Discovered in Santo Domingo in the 17th century and acclimatized in Europe, it was named Fuchsia (not Fuschia) in honour of a German botanist named Fuchs. Botanical Fuchsias, originally from South America, have gradually been hybridized. Today, there are believed to be around ten thousand hybrids!

Botanical data
Plant your fuchsias paniculata in a rich, moist, and well-drained substrate, in the morning sun or partial shade. Fuchsias need plenty of light to flower well, but they fear the full summer sun. Water regularly as they fear drought, but not excessively. When grown in a pot, make sure not to leave water in the saucer, as this would rot the roots and cause the leaves to fall. Feed with a liquid fertilizer for fuchsias every 15 days during the growing season. Regularly remove faded flowers and dry leaves. Prune back in autumn after flowering.
Overwinter your pots in a lightly heated veranda or in a bright, cool, frost-free room. Reduce watering in winter without allowing the growing substrate to dry out completely.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
