Joy Patmore

Joy Patmore - Turner 1961 GB B S white pinkred-bas. white

(A close-up picture of Joy Patmore)

A true single cultivar. The tube and sepals are waxy and almost pure white. The sepals curve up to almost cover the tube. The corolla is of a very strange, glowing, neyron-carmine. At the base of the sepals there is a blotch of white that gives an attractive white 'eye'.
The growth of the plant is vigorous upright and Joy Patmore is extremely free flowering. The whole plant gives a very healthy impression and as Leo Boullemier says in his "The Checklist of Species, Hybrids and Cultivars of the genus Fuchsia" "...a lovely cultivar in every way...the feature of Joy Patmore is the clear cut colouring, one that will endure for years to come."

Hybrid by E.T. Turner (British) 1961
