The Autumnale Fuchsia is all about colorful foliage. This easy-care annual features gold-colored leaves that transition to orange and purple hues as the summer progresses. The broad leaves come to a point and feature pronounced and colorful veining. This plant grows in low light, so it is a great choice to brighten up a dark corner of your yard.
This Fuchsia is grown for its colorful foliage. The medium-sized Autumnale Fuchsia has a trailing growth habit, so the stems will continue to reach and push out the bold and brightly colored foliage, creating a showy display. Fuchsia do well in containers, and they look particularly amazing in hanging baskets or window boxes.
Autumnale Fuchsia Care
Plant in part shade. The Autumnale Fuchsia needs some light, but it will be content to receive about 4 hours of sunlight per day. Fuchsia are thirsty plants that like constantly damp conditions. Water before the soil starts to dry out but use well-draining soil because the plant does not like to have wet feet. The soil should be rich and have a neutral to acidic pH. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every couple of weeks during the growing season.
Fuchsia can be demanding, but this plant can overwinter indoors. Place in a sunny window and use a humidifier or a pebble tray with water to increase the moisture in the air. Water when the top layer of the soil dries out.
Autumnale Fuchsia Spacing
Autumnale Fuchsia will grow 10 to 12 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches across. This annual typically does best in a container, so plant one or two Fuchsia in a 10- to 12-inch container. Fuchsia can be spaced 12 to 18 inches apart if planted in the ground.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
