I just Googled it Titchy. It is mild winters hardy. Does not like drought and high humidity etc. So protect if you are northerly in UK

Funny I couldn't find it on Google, but thanks a lot, anything helps and no I am not northerly of the U.K. in Poole Dorset in fact. Have actually brought it in to the garage, where I over winter a lot of plants, and they always survive. This Fuchsia is a real beauty,my fav. actually. Thanks again Dorjac.
