    Hello @KFF

    Thanks for the reply.

    Well, now I am confused :(

    I had been led to believe, not from here, actually from family, that I could use Perennial Trailing Fuschias in baskets year round, but from what you are saying that is not the case.

    At least I am not planning on planting them until next year now so I still have time to figure this out, hopefully with the help of the good people here.

    Thanks

    Kevin

        All the ones I recommended are hardy perennials @Kevin Cowans.. I don't recommend hardy fuchsias as they die back to twigs every winter..
