About Us
SUMMER FUCHSIA CARE (JUNE, JULY, AUGUST)
Apply water as needed, check the soil for moisture content. Continue weekly application of fertlizer. Remove dead and yellowed leaves to clean up how your plant and the soil. Deadhead by removing spent flowers and seed pods, this will direct energy into more flowers. You can snack on the berries as long as they have not been sprayed for insect or disease control. Sit back and enjoy your fuchsias!
HELPFUL HINTS - HARDY FUCHSIAS
Fuchsia hardiness is dependent on being planted in the ground. Fuchsias planted in patio pots and planters are just like any other fuchsia and are subject to freezing temperatures. Patio pots, baskets and planters are typically wintered in garages, sheds, next to houses in a manner where they will not freeze and checked monthly to see if water is needed, (just enough to keep the roots alive please).
HELPFUL HINTS - FUCHSIAS
While we all have the spring bug and are out shopping for our new found treasures, we need to keep in mind that it is still a bit cold outside for some of the more tender finds, like fuchsias. Putting them in a box or a tray and putting on your patio table may seem like a good idea but, your table is much like a winter bridge... the first to ice over. Your best bet will be to put them in your garage, shed, some place a late frost cannot nip their tender tips. Using frost cloth will help keep them a few degrees warmer. If you do not have room in the garage, beside the house on the ground with 'frost cloth' over them or overnight in a cool space in the house. Put them back outside in the morning when the temps are over 40° until they have hardened. To harden them, a week inside overnight, then outside in the shade during the day. The sun can still burn their greenhouse tender leaves.
HELPFUL HINTS - SUCCULENTS
Succulent care is here! While you may feel overwhelmed with the care of your new succulent, it's not as bad as you think. Succulents do not need as much water in the winter so, you will want to let it dry out. When the soil is dry, you will soak it well in warm water. Let it drain, it is now ready to dry out again. You are mimicing nature... monsoon to arid, repeat. Think of them like little camels, they store their water in their leaves, so you just have to give them water to refill their leaves.

Reliable Experience
The Fuchsia Farm is a small nursery located in Covington, Washington. We have been growing fuchsias for our many fuchsia friends since july 2021 after taking over for the previous owner due to retirement. We will continue to offer an ever-growing catalog of the many varieties of upright, hardy and trailing fuchsias. We specialize in fuchsias for retail customers and our mail order customers, mailing fuchsia starts year-round to all 50 states.. We have grown and provided fuchsias for botanical gardens all over the country. We support the training and educational opportunities provided to the public by the Northwest Fuchsia Society and American Fuchsia Society at their fuchsia shows and annual sales. We grow fuchsias to order for many small, family-owned nurseries from coast-to-coast and individual fuchsia societies from Washington to California. We have developed strong relationships with the Kitsap County Master Gardeners, King County Master Gardeners and Pierce County Master Gardeners.
