Wintering fuschias
Can someone remind me please? I have a dozen fuchsias grown this year from
almost nothing at all, but now very healthy plants with an abundance of flowers. I have had a wide selection of advice from - Water/don't water. Prune/don't prune. Keep outside/store under glass. My last over-wintering method was not too successful. I pruned hard in October, wintered under glass and gave no water. I ignored feeding. Result - a few weary shoots in the following spring. What is suggested for this year. |

I think they are hardy, but I should have mentioned that they are in pots,
and will be wintered in the greenhouse. Does that make any difference to the welcome advice? |

Well that makes things easier, they will survive with just a touch of neglect, just don't over water and you will be ok If they were the tender ones, I would suggest storing in a bag / box of compost in a shed -- Lincolnshire2012.com What Lincolnshire is planning for the 2012 Games!
