A section on container gardens shows how to use fuchsias in large pots, urns, troughs, boxes, hanging baskets, hanging pots, wall troughs, wall pots, chimney pots and more. A comprehensive techniques section looks at every aspect of basic fuchsia care. Advice on how to deal with pests and diseases is included, as well as a detailed calendar of care for the year. Finally, an illustrated directory provides the perfect resource for growers looking for the best varieties. With its wealth of hands-on practical advice, step-by-step sequences and 800 colour photographs, this is the ideal reference book for everyone who has a passion for these beautiful and well-loved plants.
