Has anyone a hassle free way of overwintering fuchsia's and
geraniums.
Should I cut off all the foliage? pot them up or what. Last year I
lost all
the fuchsia's but did keep most geraniums..(in the spare room with
no
heating)

I bring them in sometime around now when the weather starts to be
cold/wet. I cut them back to about 6 inches and repot them into dry
compost. Then I put them in my frost free greenhouse for the winter.

Fuchias may need a dribble of water occasionaly but the geraniums
hardly ever do.

Here are a couple of sites :
