About Us

This site is maintained by the South Coast Fuchsia Society of Southern California. Membership on the website is open to the public, for free.

Our club meets the second Monday of every month at the South Coast Botanic Garden. Our meetings usually have a guest speaker on topics other than fuchsia care, for example roses, local birds, flower arranging, etc. Members can always ask questions about fuchsias independant of the lecture topic.

Each meeting usually also has plants that are raffled off. Almost everyone that purchases a ticket gets something.

Membership is $16/year, and includes our monthly 4-page newsletter in full color.

Tip of the Month
July: By now you should have had the first wave of blossoms on your established plants, so it's time for dead-heading, that is, picking off any dead and dying blossoms and seed pods that may not have already fallen to the ground. While these are hanging on, your plants will try to produce seeds, and that takes away from producing more blossoms. If growth at a tip where there were blossoms seems to have stopped, pinch it back to the next lower node where there is some growth. This will stimulate new growth and another round of blossoms.
