The book contains all the information you need to successfully cultivate and breed fuchsias yourself. Fuchsias still arouse growing interest among house and balcony owners due to the versatility of the varieties in terms of growth form, flower shape, and color. Fuchsias are suitable for balcony boxes and tubs, but can also be grown into stately high stems. This standard work addresses all important questions about origin, cultivation, care, and plant protection. It provides advice on propagation and use. The culture section includes detailed descriptions of the education of certain forms, with keywords such as climbing or hanging fuchsia, column, or pyramid. The special part describes the cultivars in alphabetical order and has been extended by 60 new varieties. The varieties introduced in 1985 are listed separately.
