Fuchsias are a beautiful flowering plant. My wife recently purchased a fuchsia hanging pot at a local nursery and I just love the mixed colors and the unique flowers. And so I began my quest for a zone 5 hardy fuchsia.
Reports online talk about zone 5 fuchsias but I find no mention of them actually being grown.
I checked at a nearby nursery and they said they had tried growing hardy fuchsias a few years ago, but they all died.
And so the quest continues.

Happenings in the Garden
As June starts to take hold and temperatures rise, lots of new things are popping up.
The yucca plant is getting new growth and getting ready for flowers.
The garden is jumping but still looks pretty tidy. Unfortunately the weeds are jumping too.
Sweet williams are in bloom.
Our new red hot poker plant is getting ready to bloom.
Our little alcove of sweet williams and phlox is in full bloom.
My new rose hedge has already double in size.
Daylilly buds and coming.
The patches of clover we left for the bunnies are in bloom.
The purple clematis is blooming.
The perrenial blue veronica (I think that is what it is) out front is getting ready to bloom.
