"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.


There are so many but it looks a bit like Beacon Rosa.... but then it
could be dozens of others!
