Fuchsia bleeding heart?
most plants including fuchsia will produce seed pods
Reply:After the flower part of the fuchsia has finished blooming they turn into seed pods. The best thing to do is to remove the seed pods down to the stem. This will promote more flower growth. It basically makes room for the plant to rebud itself.
Reply:The common name "bleeding heart" is given to Dicentras, not Fuchsias. Fuchsias have `bells`, Dicentra have `hearts`. Hybrid fuchsias sometimes produce seed, as do Dicentra. I imagine you live in a warm dry climate where seed production is more likely. Try planting the seed, when ripe and dry. Dicentra are easy to multiply via root cuttings.
Reply:I always association Bleeding Heart and the Fuchsia as being different plants.





Yes fuchsias definitely have seed pods, some are actually edible. I would say the bleeding heart plant does too.

In May in the UK, the bleeding heart plant will be flowering but it is unlikely your fuchsia will be - unless you have it in doors.
