We have not tried fuchias, but we have had some luck with oleanders, they have really taken off. Also Jasmine, the white variety and in May we planted a blue jasmine, which seems to have taken well. Also, of course borganvilla we planted is really good. All in Calis.
We have a wild fushia which is huge, at our place in Scotland, it was there when we moved in in 1983 and the place had been empty for 50 years. I have tried to take cuttings from it, but they never root. I would love to get a cutting to root, so any tips would be appreciated.
