Hope not to loose again.

If they are in baskets Kath, I would pot them up individually in smallish pots...trim the roots if necessary, and keep them in a frost free place, your greenhouse (if you heat it) and likewise the conservatory. I've just potted mine up and put them in the greenhouse .....only water them when nearly dry....any dampness over the winter will finish them off

The only Fuchsia's i manage to keep alive over winter are the one's in the ground. I will have another bash this year though ;D ;D

None hardy types have to be grown soft through the winter or they die completely. There is a technique of burying but thats a lot of faff to bother with. Just take late summer cuttings and keep them going on your sunniest windowsill through winter.

Yes many years ago I used to bury them and was a great success.
But now my greenhouses have floors
