Blacky fuchsia

Hello. New here at this site. I was at a garden show today and picked up Blacky Fuchsia (limit 3 per customer @ 4.99 a piece!). Can someone tell me about this one? I also picked up Voodoo. I had Lena last year which was really nice.
Thank you,

Hi Sarah,
If we're talking about the same fuchsia, the correct name is Roesse Blacky. A semi-trailing variety with double blooms deep pink sepals (petals) and very dark purple corolla (skirt). Voodoo is a very large double, trailing variety, the flower has several colours, ranging from purple/pink/red, all mixed with lots of 'ruffles' in the flower itself. - Kath :) |

No, I've got Blacky,
Dark pink sepals and dark burgandy coralla. A bush. Double flowers. Defiantly Blacky. |

| Voodoo is generally listed as an upright variety. At least it is in my sources .... And mine is pretty upright too. Could this be a US/UK discrepancy? |

Yes Crazyforcorelli,
You're quite right re listings, but here we grow it in baskets too as the weight of the flowers makes it more of a 'lax-upright' than a 'stiff upright' if you see what I mean :-) Kath |
