Default Fuschia identification


"Small Red Robin" asked ...
I bought this as a standard a few years ago and it has flowered
profusely every year since in my conservatory. I need the space back
though, plus my boyfriend thinks it looks 'silly', so I've been
thinking about moving it into a pot in the garden.

I don't know anything about it at all. Can anyone tell me what it's
called, whether it's hardy, etc, etc...? Many thanks!

I've uploaded three pics to my flickr account. Here's a link to one of
them:

Take a look at some fuchsia nursery sites and see if you can ID it, there
are hundreds of varieties. Alternatevely send your link to a specialist
fuchsia nursery and see if they can ID it.
Although it's a single I would not think it was a hardy variety so if you
put it outside in the summer, OK, but if you leave it out there during frost
it will die or be severely damaged.
