    June to September.

    Sometimes earlier, sometimes longer. It's the frost that damages mine, towards October...

    Mine still looks like it did all winter so can I presume it's not coming back?

    Mine looks poorly too. As per usual for the last five years or so. I'm optimistic it'll be fine.

    Maybe try deadheading them.

    Mine seems to be thriving. It is the common variety and I tend to cut it hard back after the flowering has finished, typically late November. Nice to have because it is such a late flowerer and gives a splash of colour when everything else has gone.

    Do you know which variety it is, not all Fuchsias will survive the winter outdoors? Scrape off a small piece of bark with your fingernail, close to the base of the stem, if underneath is green the plant is alive, if brown it is dead.
