fuchsia in the soil

Question

I have several fuchsia varieties planted in my new garden. Would a fleece blanket protect them, or do I have to dig up and pot inside for winter?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

It looks like you are in a region where most fuchsia varieties can survive the winter outdoors. Yes, your plants can benefit from winter protection- a blanket or some mulch over the roots would help.
