What ever made you plant them in Feb????

Sorry, I don't understand: I assumed they were dormant, after a season
growing and flowering in their large tubs. They were already out, and
I guess they were more exposed in the containers than in the ground.
The clematis I planted at the same time (and at the same place as one
of the fuchsias) is doing OK (bar the slug damage I mentioned the
other day). Perhaps I don't understand what "hardy" means.

Thanks for the answers,
