    Pop in into the GH now, leave it slightly damp, not wet, prune in spring but only lightly cutting out straggly stems and maintain the shape, the second seems to be a bush type, leave it as it is, feed them both in spring.

    Hoping dave can advise on my hardy fuschias in the garden now image

    All flowers now finished and all leaves dropped following one night of frost! All very leggy and twiggy, how hard shall I cut back? Or do I leave till spring? Hope you can help image

    Thank you x

     

  • If you leave them til spring it helps to give more protection from frost.
