    Hardy fuschias here :-

    I have a dozen of them, some i've planted, the rest i've left in pots alongside a wall. As we've already had heavy frosts here, it's probably too late to plant the rest, as the roots have to get established before the frosts, i'm told? I'll relucantly, probably leave them all outside, as i've nowhere to keep them.

    However, i was told, well certainly the hardy fuschias i have, are most likely to survive the harsh winters here.

    I was also advised not to cut them back at all, even if they look " dead " in the spring, so i am just going to leave them, more or less, to their own devices. My neighbour doesn't do any gardening whatsoever, and they have a huge bush, Must have started from somewhere?

    Only time will tell.

    I cut all mine back this spring, they did look dead, but soon woke up and gave me some gorgeous displays.
