Better to take cuttings if it is a hardy fuchsia.
Most of the ones they do for hanging baskets don't over winter very well.Here is a link that may help.

just for info, if the fuchsia does make seeds, they form in little fruits which ripen to a dark red and can be used to make jam (honest). Downside is, as with any other plant, that seed production stops flower production. If you just want to reproduce your plant. shaneystar is dead right, take cuttings
