If you take the cuttings in Sept they will bloom the following year, I do a couple of hundred like this, started off in water, they root very quickly. You must pinch out the tips regularly through the winter and early spring, to encourage bushiness.

I am no expert, but just before the first frost, I give my fuchsia a good water (I use slightly warm water with a little bit of feed) and then take them and store them in my garage (against the furthest wall from the garage door) .
Then in the spring I get them out, cut back to ground level and then start to grow back for their normal flowering cycle. Naturally feed them as you would normally.
As I said, I am no expert, but I still have all mine now on to their 4-5 years.
