Growing from Seed
Most annual fuchsias are hybridized and seeds will not necessarily carry the same traits as the parent. Growing from seed is not recommended. Propagate fuchsias over-wintered cuttings.
If you do attempt to grow fuchsias from seed, press seeds firmly into moist potting mix and do not cover.
Feeding
Apply water soluable fertilizer every 2 weeks during growing season.
