Yes it is  I offered some cuttings in the Spring 'cos I had already cut the plants back at the end of the summer. I need to pinch the plants back now so the bits I pinch off would make good cuttings. P'raps if no-one gets in touch someone else might like a couple |

It is a beautiful Fuchsia Isabella and if nobody gets in touch please may I have a cutting?

I have the same plant and it is marvellous - a wonderful "climbing" fuchsia.

Oohh it's really lovely Isabella, I googled it and it says it's the only climbing fuchsia.

If you have a spare cutting Isabella I would love one please (but it wasn't me who you offered the cuttings to).

Been round the GC today and checked all the trays of fuchsias on the stands, the ones for 89p, but no LB. Asked one of the staff who checked and came back to say they didn't stock it in that size only the larger size for £19.99. Are all GC's the same?

How does it climb does it have tendrils or does it twine

It doesn't climb in the way that you are thinking Steve - you have to tie it up a cane - I usually lean it against something so that it looks a little more natural.
Mowhay - £19.99 is not normal for me - ridiculous. I haven't got any cuttings at the moment - mine hasn't started to grow yet but I will try and get some in the summer for you - unless someone in the UK has some spare.

There are several places on-line selling plugs much cheaper Mowhay! £19.99 seems very steep!
RF does yours survive outside without protection?

I received my cuttings from Isabella on Saturday.I've potted them up and they look quite happy. I've told them I expect great things from them, so here's hoping |

My LB gets put in the cellar for the winter - it wouldn't survive outside here Tig.

Well there are three plants on their way to me from Cornwall for £10 inc p&p so I'm happy with that.
Thank you for the offer RF very kind of you as usual.

I think that is a good price especially if it includes p & p.

That's OK Isabella don't worry I'm sure we'll be helping each other in the furture. And thanks for the thought, you are all very kind on this board and I'm enjoying all the comments.

The cutting seem to have taken which is great, I gave them a little tug and they where stuck firm so I'm thrilled to bits and cant wait till they get bigger so that I cant plant them out. Thanks Isabella your a  my garden could never compete with your lovely display but I can only dream of having one like yours. |

If something is called "climbing" I expect it to climb!
