Fuchsias: A Colour Guide
by George Bartlett
A customer review sums it up: "The Fuchsia Enthusiast's Bible." You'll know that you're serious about fuschias when you realize that you must have this book. An introductory section explains successful cultivation of fuchsias, while the remainder covers 2,000 of the most popular cultivars. My backyard only has about five cultivars, so I've a ways to go before I outgrow this reference.

Fuchsias: A Practical Step-By-Step Guide
by Carol Gubler and Neil Sutherland
This book is packed with information and beautiful photographs, but I think the best section is the Variety Guide. I see nice fuchsia all the time that are unlabeled, and inquiring with the staff usually yields no information. It is handy to be able to put a name on those plants after you've got them home.

Fuchsias: The Complete Guide
by Edwin Goulding and Alison M. Jones
A complete and beautiful work, the perfect choice for a committed fuchsia gardener. This book has information on propagation (most important to me!), soils, shaping and pruning, pests and diseases, and hybridizing. For me, a long-time seed lover, hybridizing is the next frontier.
