After cutting have rooted

GunStreetGirl

I have taken cutting this year for the first time. I have just repotted some that have rooted nicely and am wondering what to do next. Are they best to remain in the growhouse until next spring? They are all from plants that have had at least one winter outside, so are they ok in the unheated growhouse/coldframe through winter. 
I have fuchsia, hebe, rosemary, lavender, licorice plant.
Thank you.

The simple answer is yes - they'd be fine in a cold frame. 
However, it also depends on just how well grown they are. Some may need a bit more protection, and others will be fine with minimum protection - just sheltered from the worst of rain/sleet/frost/ice. Most of the time, a cold frame will need to be opened a bit, even during colder days, as most of your plants should be reasonably tough by then, but not quite ready to plant out. I'm assuming your fuchsia is a hardy one?

You'd have to judge it by your own conditions, and experience.

If the fuchsia is hardy then that, the hebe, rosemary and lavender should be OK in an unheated GH but it can depend on your location of course. You can always add some frost protection by lightly covering with fleece if you think it necessary.
Not sure about a Liquorice plant as I haven't come across it before..

I think that might be an Agastache @philippasmith2
At least - that's what I took it to mean

Thanks @philippasmith2 @Fairygirl
The fuchsia is a Genni. I hadn't thought of fleecing the growhouse so may do when the time comes.
I suppose I'll just hope for the best. I'm in manchester so generally wetter and cooler than most the country.

Fairygirl

Shouldn't be a problem there for those plants 
Is Genni an annual though, or hardy? That makes a difference. 

GunStreetGirl

@Fairygirl it was certainly sold as hardy.

Fairygirl

Should be fine then.  Fingers crossed they do all right for you. It's always nice when cuttings come away and are successful

Genii is the hedging fuchsia with the small flowers I think, very hardy. 
I would keep lavender in for the winter here where I live.  
I lost my large flowering Agastache plants in that cold Spring spell. 

Fairygirl

Yes - I'd say if it's an Agastache, they're not the most robust when small. 

I don't grow lavender, but I'd have thought it would be ok in a cold frame @Lyn?

I keep them in the GH Fairygirl. Bottom shelves. But mine are from seeds I suppose cuttings would be hardier.  I always think cold frames seem colder than GH’s.  Closer to the soil. 
I just use GH’s  now.
