Bush, Single
Pink Mini is extremely heat-tolerant, making this fuchsia most adaptable to Japan's hot summer.
Although its small, self-colored flowers might look less attractive, you would change your mind once you know how heat tolerant it is.
In fact, I've found Pink Mini more heat-tolerant than some other garden plants, i.e. Campanula, Symphyandra and so on. It easily copes with Osaka's long summer, which is notorious for its high night temperatures between 25 to 30oC. Amazing!

On the right is Pink Mini planted in a mound of compost covered with moss
Hypnum plumaeforme.
For watering, you can soak the pot and compost in pails of water until no bubble comes out.
I strongly recommend Pink Mini to those who wish to grow fuchsias as long-lived plants, not as temporary ornaments, in low-lying areas in the western part of Japan.
