This plant was in a hanging basket in the early part of the season, and wasn't doing too wll, so I planted it in the garden partially shaded by other plants. It perked up and produced some beautiful blooms. The plant cannot survive outdoors in Zone 5. Durgan.
No the plant won't survive but you can bring it indoors and keep it for years, thats what i do with mine. They just get a good pruning before going out side each summer.
Your Fuchsia is beautiful! Good luck wintering it! Mine did nicely in the summer, but I think it got a little frost, before it got brought in. The pic was taken in July, when it was doing ok.
