Hanging Baskets from summer

Hi All
My summer basket is still going quite well the violets are dying back and the lobelia still has flowers, but the Fuchsias are still flowering very well should i feed them as they are only just in their prime

 

Still nice and cheery Pam as for fuchsias they dont need feeding as they are coming to their rest time.

Just water to save drying out should do Pam?

But others may think different.

 

does the basket plant bidens flower another year if cut back

 

HI
I plant with lobelia,annual, viola,annual, i have never kept them so i dont know if they would flower again ,i just dont think they are worth it,
then i always keep my ivy from year to year, this year i wrapped it round the edge and hoped it would root itself ,i havent looked yet to see how it did. and my trailing fuchsias i have 6 different types and i am hoping to keep them through the winter to plant up again in spring

 

I've taken some of my baskets down and put them in the green house, see how they do over winter. I did it last year and they have been superb this year.

 

Dont think it will carolla, best discarded and buy new next year.

 

This year I bought some lovely fuchias and put them, in tubs and hanging baskets. It seemed ashame to let the frosts kill them off, so Ive removed these repotted them and I now over wintering them. 02

 

I have also had some lovely fuschias in baskets this year, they are also now in the greenhouse, but I fear we are in for a rough winter!

 

I'm pretty cavalier with my Fushias. They are in the (unheated) conservatory just now, but if it gets really cold I'll stick them in the garage - which is frost free. They will be without light, and I'll probably forget to water them (not that they will need much), but cut them back in the spring and they will be away again. Keep them out of the frost though (well, unless they are hardy outdoor ones ...)

 

I had a friend who used to put fuschias in polystyrene boxes over winter. Never tried it myself :cnfs:

 

An dmany yrs ago when my Dad was alive he told me he had afriend who buried hsi fuchsias in a trench border in his back garden ,planted them fairly deep.

I tried in one o fmy greenhouses when I had borders in them and buried then covered with fleece this method worked well for me.

This year they are in boxes in loft.
