Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Fuchsia ‘Chandleri’

A hybrid between F. fulgens and probably F. globosa, ‘Chandlerii’ is figured in the Floricultural Cabinet with crimson tube and sepals, the latter tipped with green, and a deep purple, almost blue corolla.  

Horticultural & Botanical History

‘This very striking kind has been raised by Messrs. Chandlers of the Vauxhall Nursery.  It is a production between Fuchsia fulgens and one of the older kinds, probably globosa.  The seed was from the latter.’  [FC p.266/1839].

History at Camden Park

Listed in the 1850 and 1857 catalogues [T.462/1850].
