Got mine this morning. They were in a bit of a sorry state but hopefully they will pick up. Lovely to get something for free. Thanks.

Didn't think I'd get them but they arrived today! One of the plugs looks a little damaged but they look great and are going straight in my hanging basket.

Many thanks OP

I too gave up hope on them coming with the email bounceback from the company but sure enough they were there this morning and mine were looking quite healthy indeed. Straight into a bag of compost fresh from the shops as Id ran out lol.

I think originally they were quoted as being trailing so I have put them in pots on the fence:rotfl: one whole pot to themselves, if they are like ones I have had previously they will trail out like a surfina and spread wide, depends how they grow but I have only put one in a pot, could pot all 3 in a hanging basket in a triangle shape, I do not think one of mine will survive as all that is left is a stick but still 2 is good for free.

Hiya (I'm the OP) 'THANKS' for all the 'THANKS'!! - I've thanked all those who have posted comments etc.

I'm so glad that everyone has received or will soon receive these fuschias. Mine arrived today (I thought I would suffer the irony of the one who posted the freebie and never receiving it!!!)..........
