EDIBLE FUCHSIA AB - PLANT
Fuchsia x regia Regal
The Edible Fuchsia is an ornamental shrub that seduces with its perennial flowers and tasty berries. This fuchsia, which generally reaches between 1 and 2 meters in height, flourishes in full sun or partial shade. Its tubular flowers, in shades ranging from pink to red, through purple and white, adorn the garden from spring to autumn.
In summer, it is covered with small edible berries, which turn from red to dark purple when ripe. These fruits, which vary in size from 1 to 2 cm, are harvested from July to October. Their rather sweet and slightly acidic taste can be enjoyed fresh or incorporated into recipes such as jams or pies.
To grow the Edible Fuchsia, it is recommended to plant it in well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. Regular watering, especially in dry periods, is essential to maintain its health. It can be planted in the ground or in pots. Pruning dead or damaged branches after flowering will encourage new growth and a harmonious shape of the plant.
