A fucshia named "twiggy"

Good morning everyone, I have been busy caring for all of my container plants, covering and uncovering when we get frost. Can anyone tell me why my fucshia has next to no leaves left on it but is still trying to bud? I am watering the plants only now and again so that they're not too wet so can't see where i'm going wrong with this one. I might add though that there are a few new leaves sprouting nonetheless but it still looks very poor

 

Hi CW

its what they do in winter drop the leaves , just like trees and lots of other plants, not to worry try and keep the pots on the dry side as you are doing already its winter wet that normally kills them , they will regrow in the spring , any fallen leaves clear them away from the top of the containers.
