Hardy Fuchsias
Hello Everyone,
Please can I have some advice. Last month I purchased 3 small hardy fuchsias,potted them up.Last weekend I potted them into larger pots,and they really are doing well with lots of buds and a few flowers. My questions is: Is it too late now to transplant them into the garden. I have a book which says not to transplant after June. I live in North Hampshire.

Wouldn't have thought it would be an issue if they're a decent size janlin, but someone may know different. Did the book perhaps refer to planting out a small plant though?
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
At this time of the year, anything small I like to keep in until next spring, I would pot on and bring them in an unheated greenhouse or conservatory for the winter.
if they're " hardy fuschias" I'd have thought they can go out and stay out.
Although, I confess I don't grow them.
I would advise you take cuttings then, as small plants don't always survive the winter.

I am on the Surrey/Hants border and 'hardy' fuschias in large terracotta pots haven't always survived the winter outdoors...
I'll shut then
I planted a Hardy Fuchsia this time last year and it was fine over winter, I'm in East Yorkshire
Not sure how small the plants are as janlin has potted on twice. If the plants are filling the pots by the end of the month I'd have thought they should be ok - assuming the pots are around 6 or 7 inches.
Hedge your bets - take cuttings and keep one outside and the rest indoors !

You're right there FG, if they are filling 6/7inch pots they will probably be ok, but the OP said they were small plants not long ago.
i would still take cuttings just in case, and I do!
