Description
The Fuchsia x regia 'Regal' is a small unusual fruit bush, offering both a magnificent summer flowering and edible berries. Its violet and fleshy berries, rich in vitamins, can be enjoyed fresh or transformed into jams and juice. Rather cold-resistant (-10 °C), comfortable in a pot, it is a versatile plant that will enhance the terrace or garden. You will cultivate it in light shade, in a rich, fresh, and light soil. In open ground, this fuchsia survives cold winters by sprouting from the stump in spring.
Fuchsia regia is a botanical species native to Brazil, discovered in the 1980s, belonging to the onagraceae family. Fuchsia 'Regal' is a hybrid of this plant selected for its abundant and high-quality fruiting. It is a compact bush that quickly reaches between 50 cm and 1 m in height, with a similar spread. Its bicolour flowering, made of bright pink and violet flowers, brightens the garden or terrace from June to September. But the real asset of this variety lies in its edible fruits: they are oblong, tender, and juicy berries, seedless, resembling a peanut in shape. When ripe, they are dark purple-black and detach easily. Their flesh has a subtle grape flavor with a slight hint of black pepper. Harvested from late August, these berries are rich in vitamin C. They can be turned into juice, jams, or even used to top pies. The flower petals, also edible, can be added to salads or crystallized to attenuate their slight bitterness.
The foliage of Fuchsia 'Regal' persists in winter as long as it does not freeze. It consists of small oval and elliptical, slightly dentate leaves. They are shiny, in a beautiful dark green. They make a beautiful backdrop for the flowers.
Fuchsia regia 'Regal' will delight amateur gardeners of ornamental and fruit plants. In a pot on a terrace or in open ground, it can be paired with other original small fruit bushes like Dwarf Blackberry 'Lucky Berry', the Dwarf Raspberry 'Ruby Beauty', the Dwarf Mulberry Bonbonberry® ‘Mojo Berry’ and the Climbing Strawberry 'Mount Everest'.

Planting and care
The 'Regal' Fuchsia thrives in partial shade in a fresh, fertile, slightly acidic soil, light and well-drained, retaining moisture in summer. It does not appreciate scorching sun or waterlogged soils in winter. Morning sun is well tolerated. You can add some gravel at the bottom of the planting hole. Mulch in summer to keep the soil slightly moist and save on watering.
Its leaves are deciduous as soon as the temperature drops below -4°C and its stems droop further below -7°C. However, if your climate is harsher (down to -10°C), the stems will not survive, which will not endanger your Fuchsia. You will then prune and protect the stump by mulching or mounding. The stems will regrow vigorously in spring. Prune again if necessary in early spring by removing dry parts. An annual pruning after flowering helps stimulate growth and promote flowering the following year.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
