Today I bought three fuchsia plants from Aldi - special offer and cheap.
Really lovely looking plants - well developed and bushy. The intent was to plant in small containers and leave on the patio over the summer, then moving them to a greenhouse to over winter.
I've transferred them to slightly larger ceramic pots - so far so good.
Only then did I read the label and discover that the spread will be 6' x 6' - far too big for the pots and the patio.
Hopefully they will become pot bound and stay small but in future I'll have to remember to read the labels first.
A lesson well learnt - like all lessons in life ...
