Fuschias are not hardy, so they won't survive the frost. The main problem with keeping them indoors is that they make a mess when the flowers fall off.

ahhh...the hardships of putting plants down for the winter...too bad hey? too cold outside..and this time of year, i wish i could bring them indoors too. but alas..i have only so much room. its a shame, because i know that those plants in particular are soo lovely and colorful, even though i agree that fuschias are quite messy.
but if you do have a good spot, like a covered porch, let it live out its days for sure!its a good idea when ever moving a plant inside to wash them well..to make sure no bibits find their way into your home for a warm place to mate for the winter.

Welcome P. A.
nice to meetcha![[wayey]](im/graemlins/wavey.gif)
I don't know where Manchester is.
I live in Mo.zone 5.I've had fushia in baskets for years.They are so pretty,and the hummingbirds love them.
What I do when it gets to about 50 degrees at night, is get them in THE HOUSE.
If they look good with healthy leaves and blooms then I just enjoy them.When they start looking droopy.That's the time to prune them back.Cut them back 2/3.The new blooms only come back on the new growth anyway.Keep them watered.Once a week at least.

me again P A.Fushias are very prone to whitefly.
They look like little gnats flying around the soil.
I'm an organic gardener....so here is a really easy way to wipe them out.Cover the exposed soil with cinnamon.It really works!!
Welcome again,
Shari
