Yes Lori I would imagine it was named after Churchill not bred by him it is small.
Fuchsia s like being in shade areas late afternoon sun or morning sun and kept damp. A gardener I knew prior coming here on another site use to store his over winter by placing them together in a big pot tub cutting them back after flowering to prevent disease and planting them in half peat and half multi compost then stpred them in his shed away from frost they dont need light for over wintering just kept moist.

I'm guessing this was named for him... not developed by him!... fancy and beautiful to be named for an old guy, too. ;-)) Seriously, it is quite beautiful. I love fuchsias but can't seem to keep them well enough.
