Blooming period: April to December

The fuchsia's flower shape is very special, like little lanterns hanging on the branches, very beautiful.

Care tips:

1. If you want it to keep blooming, promptly prune the spent flowers after blooming.

Wax begonia

Blooming period: all year round

Wax begonia flowers are small and bloom almost all year round, truly a flowering machine worthy of the name!
