The size and weight of the flowers to a significant degree produces this effect naturally, but the process can be assisted artificially and, with such large flowers of sharply contrasting brillant white and scarlet, Swingtime can give a magnificent fuchsia basket. In the words of Stefan Buczacki, this is "Undoubtedly one of the most outstanding varieties". There is also a related variety, Golden Swingtime, which is similar in every respect apart from the golden colour of its leaves. For fuchsia plants by post in the United Kingdom
