Question
do fuschias grow well in the south?  what is the temperature range for them?  I was thinking they are more for cooler climates  would not do well in Texas in June, July and August... Please help

Answer
Donna, hot weather will inhibit blooming. Fuschias do well in climates where daytime temperatures are between 60 and 70 degrees. Although they will tolerate short spurts of warmer weather, they would definitely suffer in the extended hot temperatures of Texas.

Have a good Easter.
