Bring Delicate Elegance to Your Space with Fuchsia ‘Alice Hoffman’
Graceful, long-flowering, and full of movement, Fuchsia ‘Alice Hoffman’ is a delightful hardy variety that brings a touch of refined colour to any garden corner. This variety is particularly prized for its charming bicolor flowers, featuring bright rose-pink sepals that arch over a semi-double, crisp white centre. The blooms hang like tiny, glowing lanterns from bronze-tinted stems, creating a beautiful contrast against the neat, dark green foliage throughout the summer months.
Supplied as a healthy, fully established 2L rootball, our Fuchsia ‘Alice Hoffman’ is professionally grown in premium peat-free compost. Unlike smaller starter plants, this mature shrub arrives well-branched and outdoor-ready, allowing it to settle quickly and flower freely in its first season. Its compact, upright, and slightly bushy habit makes it one of the best choices for smaller gardens or the front of a mixed border, where its non-stop display can be admired from early summer until the first frosts.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love...
The dainty, almost magical feel of 'Alice Hoffman'. The way the pink sepals sit over the white ruffled centre reminds us of a delicate summer dress. We love providing these in 2L established pots because fuchsias this compact can sometimes look a bit lost when they are small; with our 2L size, you get a bushy, sturdy plant that is ready to fill your patio or border with colour the moment it’s planted.
