Default fuchsia question

The message
from "P. Alves" contains these words:

A friend just brought me a hardy fuchsia "Lady bothby" a kind of a
climber he said. The plant is still small like 30cm. I want to plant
this fuchsia under a tree where it still gets some sun. Now the
question is: should I plant it now or wait for spring?


Lady Boothby.

While it was billed as 'hardy', a friend bought six, of which I had one.

All six were killed by the cold, whereas every other fuchsia I had
survived perfectly.

So, wait till spring and even then, keep your fingers crossed next winter...
