    I am very new to gardening and have recently moved to an incredible home and garden in the gulf islands....so...we are hanging baskets on the Pergola and I have purchased a beautiful full Fuschia basket...how do I look after it and where should it hang?
    Thank you

    Not sure of your warmer weather but one thing that spells disaster here is letting baskets dry out. So probably a regular watering regime is important. I only grow them in the ground for this reason and I make sure they have a good composty soil. I feed them blood and bone (bone meal) about once a year and grow them in a lightly shaded spot.

    This might also help re pruning and care
