Fuschias

Hi  I normally cut back my fuschias end of March but this year I have lots of new growth on the stems.  Do I leave this or should I still cut back?

    I always cut mine right back to encourage new growth.

    Still should be fine to do so. I even had buds forming on mine but still cut it back hard just last week as in theory they should still be atleast semi-dormant

    Depends how long the shoots are. I always put new growth cuttings in a small cup of water and let them get on with rooting.

    It would be a shame not to really! I personally can never resist taking cuttings and fuchsias are incredibly easy to root either in water or in soil with a polythene bag over it.
