flowering Fuchsia's

hello you knowledgeable lot.
My Fuchsia's have started flowering but are not very bushy can I pinch the tops of them to bush them out a bit or will this ruin the plant. They are for borders as I have filled the basket's.

Why not! If you do that you might even be able to use the tips as softwood cuttings!

Pinching out will only delay the flowering a bit!
