Welcome to The Fuchsietum, a small private garden in the City of Portland, Oregon with a focus on fuchsias. Portland? Oregon? Yes! If you've been here before and are a little confused, Fuchsias in the City has been transplanted to the City of Fuchsias.
Formerly located in New York City on just 1/92nd of an acre (1/224 ha), the old urban refuge was cloistered within the high-rises of Manhattan and inhabited by fuchsias, hostas, ferns, astilbes and way too many other shade-loving plants. In October 2019, the Fuchsias in the City left Manhattan to Go West.There are more changes coming to the website coming as the focus shifts to a new garden.
The Fuchsietum's pronuciation? Easy enough. Few-she-EE-tum. Like arboretum except with fuchsias. Though I often just slide the middle vowels together and lengthen them into a single longer one — Few-SHEEE-tum. Unless I'm in a classical mood then I'll say Fooks-see-EE-tum (or just Fooks-SEEE-tum).`
