Standard Fuchsia

[doreen]

I have over wintered a Standard Fuchsia that I grew and treained last year. Could anyone advise me as to what action I should take at this time of year to ensure that it will look it's best this summer. Thanks

It's hard to say....has the top died down or has it been kept ticking over.

Usually with standard fuchsias, if they're left in a cold or frost free place, the top would die and you'll have to start again.
But if you keep them growing in a 10 deg C + environment, you stand a chance of keeping them for nxt year.

My fuchsia has still got leaves and it has been green all winter. The top has never died down.

Hi Doreen you have been doing the right thing you can now start to feed with a weak tomato feed and keep it in the same place as you have it in at the moment.
