I can only think of seeds but then that would be those common ones.

I suspect many greenhouses produce a large variety of annuals including fuschias which means, they probably got those starts from elsewhere. Best way to find out is to find out the name of those nurseries by looking at the plant tags and from there look them up online. and see what you can find out from them.

I maybe a little late but Pelargonium Society in B.C. sells Fuchias at their plant sales. Also if you establish contact with them many of the members grow varieties which are not available commercially.

Thanks yugo, the BC Fuchsia and Begonia Society also has a show and sale every summer on the mainland but unfortunately I haven't been able to get to it, maybe next year.

I ordered Fuchsia from veseys.com - They were not as large as I would have liked and one was attacked by my new puppy. They did not survive so I can't say if they would be a good source. They are only available in the spring when they have plants as well as seeds/bulbs,

Good luck

Now why didn't I think of looking there, I have been to Fraser's Thimble Farm several times and I think I have a recent catalogue. Most of theirs are hardy fuchsias but I see two I would like to get. Thanks Nina for the heads up.
