Default Fuchsia 'Tom Thumb' question

Hello everyone. I recently attempted to take some softwood cuttings from my dad's fuchsia plant, being a complete beginner I'm not holding out a great deal of hope that they'll root. So, I spotted a fuchsia in a garden centre recently called 'tom thumb' I assumed it would grow to the same kind of size as my dad's which is curently about one metre across and one metre high, however, when I read the information which came with the plant, it said size: up to 30cm tall and 30cm across I did a quick internet search which described this as a dwarf variety. I had planted it right outside the living room window expecting it to spread, if this isn't going to be the case are there any fuchsias which become very large & which spread quite quickly? Thanks.
