What is a "sun fuchsia"?

Duh...Now that you ask...

I've always heard this particular one called "sun fuchsia", and just
concluded that the term meant that it would take more sun than
"regular" ones. I went online to look for the term, but didn't find.

However, I did find a picture om WikiPedia that looks a lot like the
plant I'm concerned with.

I have let my sun fuschias get out of hand.

Lots of branches crossing; little "threads" from dead blooms, in
short, a mess.

Rather than get in there and fiddle with all this, which would take
forever, am wondering whether I could just cut back to a few trunks
and wait for plants to come back.

(I have done this repeatedly with a "regular" fuschia when it got too
long & droopy, and it always came back. But the configuration of this
fuschia is quite different from the tangled mess of the sun fuschias.)

Any experience/input on this?
