Fuchsia

The Fuchsia genus offers vibrant blooms that attract pollinators throughout summer. Its tubular flowers provide nectar for bees and other pollinators, supporting UK wildlife. Many varieties bloom from early summer until the first frosts, offering a long-lasting food source.

Hardy Fuchsia species thrive in British gardens, tolerating coastal winds and partial shade. Birds often nest in their dense foliage, while berries feed blackbirds and thrushes in autumn. Plant near hedgerows or mixed borders to create shelter for insects. Choose single-flowered varieties for easier pollinator access.
