Fuchsia Floribunda’
Probably a hybrid or cultivar but I have found no description of this plant.
Horticultural & Botanical History
No data.
History at Camden Park
Listed among fuchsias grown at Camden in a letter to J. Abbott of Hobart on 16th June 1846. [MP A2908, p.159].
Notes
A fuchsia called ‘Foribunda’ is still available, at least in the USA. It is described as having single bluish-violet corolla with sepals of cerise. [www.backyardgardener.com]. I don’t know if this is the Victorian cultivar or a more modern plant.
