Fuschias

[tooj]

Hello. We bought a green and pink variegated fuschia in the spring and its grown brilliantly. There was no label or instructions so what do we do now? Leave it as it is till next spring or bring it in and cut it down. It is still looking really good.

what are the flowers like? big or small? double or single?

Woofgang Sorry, just got back in.They are quite large and single.We've only noticed a few of them.

Hmmm large flowers tend to be on tender fuchsias. The hardy fuchsias have small single flowers. If its in a pot or tub, I would keep it somewhere frost free over the winter and cut right back on the watering. I tend to be a bit wait an see with regards to cutting back. I prefer to wait until it shoots in late spring then cut off any dead bits and tidy up the shape.
