Plants grown outside during the summer must be brought inside before the first fall frost. Excessively large plants may be cut back to 6 inch stubs in late fall or early winter. Fuchsia may be rested during the winter. Resting plants are pruned back and run quite dry until February, when normal watering is begun. Hot and dry weather causes flower bud drop.
Propagation is by seed or stem tip cuttings.
