lol. I figured retail speak was something I should explain....lol. Any tips for my overwintering attempt, Hywel?

If you keep them frost free they'll be alright. They don't mind cold but not freezing. Also make sure the compost doesn't dry out too much - not wet but just on the dampish side. They should survive.
I don't know if you've kept fuchsias before but don't worry if the leaves fall off. They do that when they're dormant.
Good luck.

I had the leaves fall off one last year and thought I had done wrong. I'll just let it stay damp through that, and hope for a revival. Last years swingtime is blooming at the end of ft long branches with three leaves....lol.
