Hardy Fuschias in pots
I've got a couple of permanent pots outside, made from old chimney pots, which I'm thinking of putting a fuschias in. Will hardy fuschias be OK in these over the winter or should I get bedding fuschias and either bring them in each winter or take cuttings? I'm in Hampshire, if that makes a difference to the likely hood of a fuschia surviving the winter. -- Cheers, Serena Sometimes I sits and thinks ... and sometimes I just sits. (Punch cartoon) |

I have trained F. genii into a standard which lives in a pot in the garden all year. Natalie |

Hardys 'should' be OK in pots in the winter although bear in mind that the roots will be more exposed to frost than if in a well mulched bed.. If in doubt take 'backup cuttings' and overwinter somewhere protected, or at very least wrap some protection around the pots and/or move to sheltered position. In general though Hardy types are just that, pretty tough!-) // Jim |

Hardy Fuschias in pots
I live in N. Lincs and have had many fuschias over the years in pots and
left them outside all year with no problems at all, a good feed and a bit of fresh compost in the spring and bobs your uncle up they come :-) "Jim W" wrote in message news:1fy24yx.1aagbgjzaijp2N%00senetnospamtodayta@m acunlimited.net...
