Fuschias

Hi

I bought some fuschia plug plants from Wilkinsons in Feb.  Much too early I know! There are trailing ones and upright ones.
They are growing nicely in 3'' pots on the windowsill but the trailing ones are getting quite tall and some of them - mostly the upright ones - are flowering.
Should I pinch out the ends or is this not the thing to do with trailing fuschias?
Should I pinch off the flowers?
They are for hanging baskets but I cannot plant them up till the other plants get a bit bigger!

Would appreciate your opinions

Thanks
Elaine

I thought, and it's only a thought, that you pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth

The more you pinch out fuchsias the more they bush and therefore the more flowers you'll get  :D
