Trick is to take a few small cuttings off the ones you are fond of as
insurance and keep them going on a frost free windowsill in the house.
That way you can start again next year when it warms up.

I've had good results with hydrangea cutting on the allotment coldframe
but no luck with fuchsia. Hydrangea stems are a bit more fleshy. The
fuchsia cuttings may have died from neglect. I'll try indoors on a
windowsill. Should I wait till they've stopped flowering?

I try to find pieces without a flower bud. If you try and strike half a
dozen round the edge of a pot you should get a couple that take.
