Thank you liz and Pearl for the compliments!
I got mine on a plant fair two years ago, didn't know at that time it is a hardy one, so the first winter I took it inside, but now I have planted it in full ground in the garden, and will see how it does next spring. At the moment we are having a frosty period of around -6 C at night until this Saturday.
They do sell it on this British site: 'Other Fellow's Fuchsias' which says it is hardy min -15--10°C;
I give the link here:
