I have a dozen or so hardy fuchsias in my garden. Some of them are
flowering
fine, but a few are coming blind and the new leaves are small and twisted.
I
see no sign of beasties or rust. I have now sprayed with insecticide and I
kept them moist during the dry spell.
Anyone recognise the symptoms?

I found red spider mite on my outdoors ones - they were in a similar state -
twisted leaves, poor growth and blind - much watering and feeding have
restored them to full blooming health - I think it's the heat, drought, and
spider mite.
