Is now a good time for taking hardy fuschia cuttings ?

mark

Spring and summer are said to be the best time, though theroretically
any time is okay if the material is there. However, some people think
autumn cuttings don't work as well because the plants are running out
of vigour. Yesterday, I took delivery of some lovely little regal
pelargoniums from Vernon's. In the package was a little booklet and on
the subject of Fuchsia cuttings they advised using a solution of
Vitamin C rather than hormone rooting powder or liquid!! I'd never
heard of this before and wondered if anyone else had tried it?
