The 'Lady Thumb' is a winter-hardy plant when planted in open ground. For even more profuse blooming, we add fertiliser to its water every week. We prune the flowers that have finished blooming regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Place the plant so that is in partial shade. Protect the plant against bright sunlight. Give the fuchsia sufficient water in the summer. The soil should be kept damp. Give it extra water during dry periods.
