Oh Shannie, *HUGS*

There is a hardy fuchsia called Margaret.
Try he

I can't google anywhere specific but here may just be able to help!
The Fuchsia Nursery, Ballinaboola, Wexford, Ph : 051-428252

If it's anything like the hardy fuchsias in my Dad's garden (edge of
Peak District, Derbyshire), it will end up a metre-diameter globe!
(And chances are, bigger as I suspect it's milder where you are)

best wishes
