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.

There are hundreds of fuchsia's. I suggest you just read the label then
you'll know what you're buying
