Will Fuschias Bloom in the Fall?

| We've had over a week of 95 degree temperatures, and another week forecast. My fuschia on my covered porch is still blooming a lot (I deadhead every day) and the leaves look good. However, the blooms are now small and turn crispy rapidly. The sepals (Is that the name for the part covering the petals on a closed bud?) look scorched. It doesn't get much direct sun each day, but the 3 hours it gets occurs from noon to 3 PM. Should I move it to a spot where it gets only morning sun? If I can make it past the summer heat, can I expect it to return to looking beautiful in the fall, up until frost? |

Hi Trytryagain,
It definitely sounds as if the problems is that it has been exposed to direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. Yes if I were you I would move it so that it gets no pm sun. When the cooler weather returns it should improve again. Kath :) |
