Our member Hywel had these in 2011. Don't know if he still has them but it might be worth sending him a Private Message? There are other similar ones though - one of its parents Blush of Dawn for example.

Just seen the other version of your question. Try Riverside Fuchsias. This variety is listed on their website. A young plant might be better than a cutting even if you can fined one.

Hywel is the 411 on Fushias!

Seeds will not come true to original plant.

B, I referred Paul to Hywel when he asked this question again, but he seems to be in one of his "away" periods. Its an uncommon fuchsia and not a hardy one, but can be obtained from the link I quoted. To get a worthwhile plant in time for an upcoming birthday you'd need a plant anyway.
Peter, good suggestion but Paul wants this one because of name rather than the colour!

Stera - 2 other members who are also knowledgeable are Janey & Shirley_Tulip. But try sending Hywel a PM as well. This may bring him back, lol .

Erm, I'm not sure why you might think I was knowledgeable on Fuchsias Paul! I like them and have a few, but am certainly no expert.

Doesn't matter Shirley. We all know how to grow them and I think we all love them! I have about 30 but mostly hardy ones. I was astonished when I counted them up - had no idea there were so many. None of us can hold a candle to Hywel's collection though!

Ok Paul, don't start on me with that attitude! It's such a shame the written word can be mis-interpreted. By the way, I had a heart attack in 2012, so that glib comment rang true. As for calling me 'Sweetie' in such a condescending way, consider this comment my last one to you.

Oh! My God, here we go again :o((

I haven't been on this site for quite some time for various reasons but very much back into my gardening now and just asked a question. Decided to look at some of the others and came across the question about fuchsias. How on earth did it become so unpleasant and why? I'm sure Paul is regretting asking the question now.
This is not how I remember Growsonyou friends.

Don't you, Ginellie? I'm surprised, you know it happens occasionally. Everyone's different, and sometimes say something which gets misinterpreted, but other people seem to have issues or attitudes which get displayed, advertently or inadvertently, from time to time on sites like this. Fortunately, the offending comment appears to have been flagged and thus removed, in common with several others in the last few weeks, so these things are being monitored.

Dear oh dear, the phrase 'recidivist lag' springs to mind...hey ho, we live to flag another day...

Anyway, White Veil Fuchsias in Dorset are reputed to have this, but I don't think its mail order, link below with a phone number
