Fuschia seed pods ?

[hocus pocus]

For the first time I have bought some fuschias this summer
and some of them have what appears to be seed pods
growing amongst the foliage. Can I store these for use
next year? I would be grateful for any advice as how to go
about it , as I am just learning my way . Thank you.

Far better to take cuttings now and grow them on through the winter in a cold greenhouse. Go to Google and type `Fuchia Propagation` for full instructions

I have grown fuchsias from seeds that I saved. They grew OK but never flowered as well as those grown from cuttings. I did not save my seeds till the following spring but sowed them once I had harvested them as they were in a soft seed pod and I was not sure how well they would store.
