Overwintering small pot/hanging basket fuchsia advice please

One possibility is graft failure (which I grant may be exacerbated by frost), but even so if you leave the "dead" wisteria in the soil you will find that after a year shoots start appearing from the rootstock. Unfortunately they will be of no use for ornamental purposes! Yes, in the strict sense. But the way that frost kills many plants in the UK is by damaging the tissues and giving fungi an opening while it is above freezing but too dark and cold for the plant to start growing. It's really our wet, dark but not frozen winters that are the problem. I'll bet on something like that. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
