This is one of the plants I bought on my last visit to the GC with Sandra, I thought it was Hebe Heart Breaker, but now Im not sure as it is developing small flowers which look very much like Fuchsias? The leaves are a lovely varigated mix tof Cerise, cream and green.?

I can't remember what I bought Sandra, apart from the Veronica and the White Digitalis [which I cant find now, I did put it in a pot, but it must be hiding somewhere lol] and this one which I thought was a Hebe May be we will have to make another trip to refresh my memory lol
Thanks Amy I am really pleased with Whats its name, its made such good growth and I have already taken a couple of cuttings;0))

It certainly does look like a fuschia to me too. The varigated leaves make it very pretty.
