Gartenmeister seed pods

18 years ago

My Gartenmeister fuchsia (the first fuchsia I've ever had) is producing beautiful red seed pods. I understand this variety of fuchsia is a hybrid, so should I assume these seed pods will not produce viable seed? Or might they produce viable seed, but not reliably Gartenmeister seedlings? It's a beautiful pod, and I might just leave them on the branch anyway because I like seeing them, but I'm wondering whether it's worthwhile to save them and pot them up.

Has anyone ever tried it with this variety of fuchsia?

Hi Westender,
Sowing the seed will produce seedlings, but not always true to the parent plant, you might even get some nice variations :) See link below for growing fuchsias from seed - Kath :)
