Hi, I bought two trays of what I thought were trailing fuchsia for hanging baskets, I've bought upright ones instead! There's no care instructions on the pack. I've googled to see if I can find out how tall/ wide they will grow but info is a bit sparse . Not sure what to do with them, can they go in my border? How tall will they grow, how far apart should I plant them? Variety ' Krommenie' Any help appreciated x

Hi Elina... It's a bush fuchsia and should be frost hardy. can grow up to 3ft with a 3ft spread. You can always prune them back in early spring.

Oh we'll, I'll have to bung them in & hope for the best. May be I'll zig zag them. Thanks x
Hi Elina. Just prune them back or put them in some nice pots for the Patio etc.
If you really have no room to put them in the garden or into pots, offer the spare ones to your neighbours. We do that and often get nice plants in return.
