We used to have a huge shrubby fuchsia at mum’s bungalow which came back every year, so I was keen to get at least one in the garden. I’m going to have to see how this goes as I have bacopa and ivy in the same wall basket and that might be an overwhelming mix. It’s been a bit of a constant battle to keep the baskets from falling to bits as the local birds have been raiding the coir for nesting material!
