I like fuchsia too, we have both hardy (in the ground) and others in pots. I am wondering then, could I just put some fleece around my non hardy potted ones in the winter rather than having to move them all in the garage? My favourite is the white and purple and that is the hardy one we have.
There are some fuchsia which are less hardy - often the ones sold as trailing varieties for hanging baskets and pots. These I would suggest you stow somewhere frost free. It does depend where in the country you are and what your winters are like.
I have seen a red variety which is really stunning and it was about 150 cm high . It seemed to be growing on long canes . Does any body know what this variety is called ? I was addicted to Dahlia but was spending a lot on snail /slug control . Now addicted to FUSCHIA , there are so many lovely types !!!!

A fuchsia on canes could be Lady Boothby, which is a climbing fuchsia. www.rhs.org.uk/plants/90700/fuchsia-lady-boothby/details.
