  • Light Requirement is Full Sun to Full Shade
  • Height 24-30 Inches
  • Width 28-30 Inches
  • Use as a thriller when using in containers
  • Rare variegated fuchsia!

Firecracker is a step up from many other fuchsias because it has beautiful variegated green leaves edged in white with just a kiss of pink. The 1 ½-inch long, trumpet-like orange-red flowers flare at their tips to invite hummingbirds, which can’t seem to resist fuchsia.

A 30-inch tall upright grower, Firecracker is perfect as a standalone in a pot or as the thriller in a mixed arrangement. Firecracker blooms from planting to a killing frost.

Fuchsia Firecracker Care

Grow Firecracker in the sun or shade in a container. Use a high quality potting mix, which is formulated for drainage, which is important for fuchsia. Firecracker has average water needs, so water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Deadheading (removing spent flowers) is not necessary.

Firecracker Fuchsia can be overwintered as a houseplant in a bright, sunny window. Keep an eye open for whitefly, which can be a pest on fuchsia.

Fuchsia Firecracker Spacing

A full, upright plant with a 30-inch spread, grow one Firecracker Fuchsia in a 12-inch pot. Because this fuchsia is tall, space out these plants more than typical and add fillers and spillers to create a lush full planting. Firecracker Fuchsia doesn’t usually do well when planted in the landscape. Consider placing a pot in the landscape where you’d like the look and color of Firecracker Fuchsia.

    The firecracker fuschia I received is very healthy. She is beginning to bloom. Hope the hummingbirds are happy.

    Super...

    Wonderful healthy plant. I’d order again! Our local nursery didn’t get this particular plant this year. I had used this plant in a pot last year surrounded by the same color impatiens and it was gorgeous all summer.

    My local nursery didn’t carry this plant. I recently lost the one I had which was big & beautiful. No apparent reason that it started to fade away. I was very happy to get news ones from Plant Attics.
