Fushia Pruning & Poor Show last year

I had a very poor and on some no show of flowers last year and the wood now looks dead should I cut these back or is it too late???

Thanks

Dave

 

Hi David G. i will watch with great interest your thread, as i have the exact same Problem music.

 

David, cut them down to ground level now.:gnthb:

 

Hi David

These are well established plants about 1/2 to 1 mtr high sorry I should have pointed that out in the last post

I was hoping to cut them back quite hard??

Thanks

Dave

 

You can cut your fuchsias back to whatever height you want them now, DavidG.
Watch them and see if they break up the stems, sometimes they do.
If not then they will probably come from below ground and you can cut the old stems right back to ground level.

 

Cut them back hard, give them a shrub feed and then mulch
