Hello Debbie I just joined this group this morning but have grown fuchsias for around 30yrs now.

I used to bury my fuchsias in a trench in my greenhouse this method worked very well for me and I had a good success rate.

this year I upgraded to a larger greenhouse and did away with my trench.
So I will also be trying to overwinter my fuchsias as I do not have any heating except for bubble wrap.

But will be covering my fuchsias with horticultural fleece this is their rest time.

You can also use a cardboard box and cover fuchsia swith newspaper and stick in loft.

Take all the leaves off if they have not already shed their leaves.

And cut back most of all rember to lable your fuchsias as next season wehn they grow difficult to remember until they bloom.

Best of luck and happy fuchsia growing you get a lot of pleasure from fuchsias.
