Description:
Fuchsia 'Marinka' is a trailing fuchsia very popular for hanging baskets and containers. It produces masses of bright red flowers over a long period from summer until the first frosts. It will grow in sun or partial shade, bringing a splash of colour to dark areas, but is not frost hardy and should be overwintered in a protected environment such as a greenhouse.
