Whether fuchsias are hardy or not often leads to discussions, because experiences are very different. No wonder, because there are around 12,000 fuchsia varieties. While most varieties are not hardy, there are a number of fuchsias that are hardy. However, fuchsias only survive the winter outdoors if they are planted out. If they are cultivated in pots or tubs, fuchsias have to move to winter quarters for the cold season.

Overwinter fuchsias in tubs

For fuchsias in pots or tubs, regardless of whether they are hardy or not, the outdoor season ends before the first forest. However, you should not be too timid and leave the plants outdoors for as long as possible, because the low temperatures promote woody growth. Rooms with a temperature between two and ten degrees Celsius are suitable as winter quarters, i.e

  • attics
  • hallways
  • basement rooms or
  • conservatories

In addition, the winter quarters should have a certain humidity and sufficient air circulation. However, fuchsias do not like drafts.
Before the fuchsias go into winter quarters, you should prepare them accordingly:

  • Remove leaves, fruits and flowers
  • Remove and dispose of separated plant parts

identify varieties

The end of hibernation begins after the last late frosts, which is usually from mid-May after the ice saints. So that the plants get used to the bright light again, it is advisable to move the fuchsias to a brighter, frost-free location from March.
