Fuchsias
Fuchsias are our other specialty and the greenhouse showstoppers — those dangling, two-tone blooms that hummingbirds can’t resist. They do best with some shade from the hottest afternoon sun and steady water, which makes them perfect for a covered porch or a north- or east-facing entry. We grow them as trailing hanging baskets and as upright starts, in singles and doubles, from soft pinks to deep purple-and-reds. If you’ve struggled to keep fuchsias happy through a Montana summer, come talk to us — it’s usually an easy fix.
