PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Spring: Plant Fuchsia in spring as the soil warms, helping the root system establish well ahead of the flowering period.
Autumn: Early autumn planting is also suitable, giving time to settle before new growth begins the following year.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Fuchsia grows best in full sun to partial shade. A balance of light encourages abundant flowering while protecting the plant from excessive heat.
Soil: Choose well-drained, fertile soil for Fuchsia ‘Whiteknights Pearl’. Improve heavy or poor soil with compost to enhance drainage and nutrient levels.
Planting Instructions
Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth to ensure Fuchsia ‘Whiteknights Pearl’ has space to spread its roots.
Soil Preparation: Mix organic matter into the soil to support strong growth and healthy flowering.
Planting: Position the plant so the top of the root ball sits level with the soil surface. Backfill gently and firm the soil.
Watering After Planting: Water thoroughly to settle the soil and encourage root establishment.
Watering Requirements
Growing Season: Fuchsia prefers consistently moist soil. Water during dry spells, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging.
Dormant Season: Reduce watering significantly. Only water if the soil becomes very dry.
Feeding
Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser to support vigorous early growth and plentiful buds on Fuchsia ‘Whiteknights Pearl’.
Mid-Summer: A light feed during the peak flowering season helps maintain energy and prolong blooms.
Pruning
Deadheading: Remove faded flowers regularly to extend the display and encourage fresh blooms.
Autumn Pruning: Cut back to near ground level once flowering finishes. This refreshes growth for the following year.
Mulching
Spring: Apply mulch to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds around Fuchsia ‘Whiteknights Pearl’.
Winter: Add an extra layer of mulch to protect the base and help prevent root damage.
Supporting the Plant
Staking: Although Fuchsia is bushy and upright, occasional support may help in exposed areas or strong winds.
